Only one bus left at the depot at Water Lane this morning. 3 left at Pro Fleet Commercials. Not moved for some time so probably waiting for a bill to be paid. 1 down Water Lane looks to have battery issues.

Currently five CT Plus routes replaced with 377/8 joining Arriva from the 3rd October. I wonder if this will use the ex London Enviro 200s for service.

Been confirmed to me by higher management, when they announced to staff this afternoon. And seeing as I know the routes better than anyone, having driven them for 5.5 years with TLC and CT Plus, I suggested Solos, and it got confirmed that it will be the current Solos, plus a rumour is maybe a couple more coming (unconfirmed).

The solos are staying heard tonight we've now on Selby stock permanently 1884 and 1888 with 3 more to come for the 51 service and 663-7 are going but the solos are used on the 64/493 service and maybe jointed with 408/9 service but wait and see

I hope they use proper buses with a destination screen and a power door, rather than a Transit van

If you want a full size all singing and dancing bus then it'll cost WYCA more, to spend extra on this contract just to make sure South Pennine have an actual bus for it rather than a transit is very unfair given the number of routes getting cut from October such as those between Pontefract and Doncaster.

I think using a transit van puts off other customers on common sections of the route, as it doesn’t look like a proper bus open to all. So these services would end up only being used by people who have no other bus which would reduce the viability for next time it is tendered
I didn’t say ‘all singing and dancing’, just a minibus with a destination screen and powered door

One of the Ex-London single door B7TL Geminis passed me in Rawdon this morning with Full CT Plus logos and Legals. Sadly didnt see the reg. I know I'm bumping a long inactive thread but I believe Hunters Leeds has at least one of the ex-london CTPlus B7TL Gemini's. This is because I have seen, and photographed, LF52-ZTR and also LF52-ZSP on school contracts typically run by Hunters, and to add to this I also saw a placard in the window of LF52-ZSP saying it's on hire by Hunters. So I wouldn't be surprised if it was running one of the local school runs when you saw it.
