They are replacing the 2007/8 B7RLEs apparently.

BJ22VCE according to Juddy. (I'm sure he'll see this). VCD also here too. BJ22VCD comes back as a “ VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER T28 H-LINE TDI S-A” on dvla MOT history check. BJ22VCE is a streetlite there is a BJ22VCF that comes back as a streetlite on the same search

32524 69219 66751 66782 Withdrawn from fleet Why 69219? It's newer and a brilliant bus. Also don't get why 66783 is either.

What an absolute waste of manpower, you'd think they'd come to a decision on what's staying and going before commencing any work, not this sham of staying AM with panel work done on it, withdrawn PM with more work to remove the panels.

According to a Facebook post by a long-time First driver, there are going to be some major fleet changes in the coming months. There are also going to be some 'drastic cuts and frequency reductions'.
All I can say is I'm glad I own a car, even if petrol costs an arm and a leg.

All I can say is I'm glad I own a car, even if petrol costs an arm and a leg. Hopefully those fleet changes are upgrades! However, judging by the cuts and frequency reductions, I highly doubt it... I think these cuts could actually be a good thing since transdev/ct plus would hopefully take over the routes first end up dropping. I'm not sure if this is part of the ZEBRA bid, but this could be related to the major fleet changes the driver was talking about! www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-61927421?fbclid=IwAR3LNbXY6kLeLgJEVdohRewGPJXhFvhe92TUfeDUqIVybg2Cmg8e00Lu_3A

First have got both Arrival & Yutongs on order currently for other ops due this year & into next (Arrivals for Leicester/Portsmouth/York,Yutongs for Glasgow) so i'm it would make sense for Leeds to get one of them 2 models as its normally cheaper for them to order buses in bulk.
