Pulsar 1430 has now arrived, and now at Castleford reg plate CX58 EWR. Was 2902 at Merseyside, and is tracking on 1478s machine. Is out on 186/147s/136s till 3ish, and then should be on 141s/164s for rest of the day.

Wouldn't it make sense for all the pulsar 1s to go to Belle Isle, and the pulsar 2s from Belle Isle go to Castleford, just seems it'd be easier to have the same type all together rather than mix and match and also the one at Dewsbury is a rather odd one too

Not 100% sure if this is the case but its the rumour that's been doing the rounds as of late.

Last I knew, full length vehicles weren't allowed on 212 due to laps of Soothill and Kirkhamgate estate and the subsequent poorly parked cars!

Last I knew, full length vehicles weren't allowed on 212 due to laps of Soothill and Kirkhamgate estate and the subsequent poorly parked cars! 212 is back at Dewsbury depot and has been since the recent changes. The full sized e200s can handle the climbs of the Soothill loop easier than the little ones. 212 would be better with Solos really.

1500 buses from Selby will permanently with swap with some 1900 MMC’s from Castleford. Certainly brings more modern buses to Selby, but personally I would have preferred the SN69 Streetdecks moving over to Selby when the electrics arrive on to 106, 110, 126, 148/9, 425.

Well then wouldn't Wakefield, Heckmondwike or even Dewsbury depots be a better option as it gives the 283/A, 268 and 425 more CAZ compliant vehicle options.

If the worst comes to the worst, the B7RLE's can go on the route, as they're euro 6 283/283A is usually in the hands of Pulsars 425, usually hybrids. If not then usually a streetdeck or 61 plate Gemini, can also use Pulsars, and E200mmcs In your hypothetical situation What do you give Castleford then? 140/141/163/189 all should be fully deckered in an ideal world, but there isn't enough to go around, what do Castleford get then? Tempos and more e200s to replace doubles?

Tempos and more e200s to replace doubles? there'd still be enough deckers as it's not all the e400MMCs at Cas going to selby. Plus there's still 1884-1893 too. The tempos are currently mainly doing 148/149 of late or occasionally 195/196/496. It's very rare a tempo goes on 118 and i dont think they've ever done 444/446 as they are too big and likey to ground on the housing estate in Rothwell the 444 loops round let alone going through Stanley.

I've seen tempos on 444/446 before, a tempo also did the 22 the other week. 1884 has been withdrawn since the accident a few months back and 1888 is a selby allocated bus.
