Arriva Optare Solo spotted in Wakefield, possibly on the 101 route. Didn’t catch the reg. There is a bus operating the 101 on a spare machine on Bus Times. Has one transferred to Wakefield? Could it be an ANW one that's been with Transdev? Saw it again - it’s CX58 FYZ, fleet number 680. Where’s this come from?!

Also at Belle Isle this morning were 2 ex Arriva Merseyside E200's 2159 LJ07EDL and 2165 LJ07ECF, again believed to have been on loan recently to Team Pennine. They will be used as Pool vehicles at AY for vehicles undergoing refurbishment/repairs etc. Penfold

Apparantly they require major chassis work at the rear and the cost cant be justified Im told Penfold

Lets up 2159 & 2165 handle as well as the 09 batch which is better than the 14 reg batch.

I believe that 32522 (YJ54 XUN) has broken down outside of Huddersfield University. (I am unsure on if its exactly that bus but I did see one broken down before the roundabout. Looked on Bustimes)

2165 on the 261 arriving into Huddersfield (Guessing it's that bus that is tracking as 1937) and I believe 1073 is having issues, saw it with hazards on just near the University.

Spotted a bus alert for the 61 that clearly hasn't been checked. Ivy Street will be closed between 9.30 and 3.30 on a Tuesday coming up, the diversion stated is York Road, Marsh Lane (all fine so far) SOUTH ACCOMMODATION ROAD AND EAST STREET. Firstly it's only the 61 that's affected (not the 61A and 87 as Metro are stating) and secondly that second bit in block capitals clearly makes no sense what so ever, so where are the few who use this bus supposed to wait? Even if it's meant to be Upper Accommodation Road, the East Street bit takes it back off route lol.

232-branded 1073 on the 147A this morning. I thought 1073 wasn't branded? I'm sure that it's the only one that isn't out of the E200MMC batch? Unless it has been branded quite recently?

Jacksons of Silsden have a brand new Mellor Strata bodied Merc Sprinter.
Didn't get much of a chance to take note of it, but appears to be a WN71 registration.

Team Pennine dart 721 went into the back of 32463 on Westgate, Huddersfield this afternoon. Damage didn't look too bad, just a smashed windscreen. I had managed to get a photo of it about 2 hours earlier.
