33483 is on Amazon shuttles, meanwhile 2 streetwrecks are on the X84. Marvellous. What exactly is so bad about a Streetdeck being used on the X84?

Absolutely nothing, as a passenger I would much rather ride a streetdeck than one of those rattling squeaking E400's.

Agree 100%, some of those MMCs creak & groan like a grand galleon and for me a Streetdeck is preferable to anything from ADL. The 16 plate Streetdecks can be hit and miss but the post Bamford models are a far superior product and very well put together. It was disappointing when I sampled a couple of the (then) new Sky Class MMCs on the York Cityzap last year - both examples had the same annoying constant rattle emanating from the panelling at the top of the steps to the top deck. Couldn't help think back to the comments a fairly senior engineer in one of the First opcos made a while back - "no more ADL cr*p please!"

Nothing much, but it's still a misallocation which is the subject of this thread. And the specific point here is that 33483 is one of the X84 branded buses, being used on another service, whilst unbranded buses are on the X84 - a double misallocation!

Yesterday:
Olympia liveried B9Tl with LEEDS branding on the 622
Keighley Shuttle B7RLE pulling out of Victoria Road in Saltaire (Not In Service) from the Saltaire village direction and pulling up outside Victoria Wines & Melvin Davis bakers on Gordon Terrace.
Also, one of Keighley's 08 Reg B7RLE's has a dodgy destination display. Shows the number and destination for a couple of seconds, goes blank for a couple of seconds then the number and destination slowly fade into view again.

Just had a 91 arrive at Kirkstall Morrisons 20 minutes early! Ran through Headingley North Lane 8 minutes early. That timetable is ridiculous.

But is probably one of the least reliable services in Leeds? It's crazy. That journey is timetabled to take just under 2 hours end-to-end! That includes a whole 31 minutes to get from Headingley Stadium to Kirkstall Morrisons. Lol.

To be fair, in the afternooon/evening rush hour it can easily take half an hour from Headingley Stadium to Kirkstall Morrisons. I've certainly sat in the queue down Kirkstall Lane to get through the traffic lights at the Morris Lane junction for 20+ minutes on more than one occasion. Of course, on a day when traffic is light it doesn't take anything like that long, but you can't build a timetable that works for both scenarios.

That section is timetabled for between 4 and 29 minutes! Must be a nightmare for the schedulers as well as the drivers!

1066 on a 186/147 today. Not a fan of that livery it carries, the same one as most of the e200minis. The newer livery suits the e200s better imo it was planned for the e200s to go in the Max livery as 1053 & 1057 gained it. 1065 (1331 at ANE) also gained same branding as they were to be used on 104 but they can't fit on St Paul's Drive all that well.
