I see YB ran an old Leyland open top bus on the 29 yesterday! Aye. It was pretty busy as well, and not just with enthusiasts. The rain also held off which was the most important thing.

Yes, pretty much to try drum up some publicity for their 29 extension to Horsforth and the White Rose Centre. I do believe it would be a grand idea to run an open topper like this every weekend (maybe every day of the week) during summer school holidays. There were quite a few families with kids on it, and it would be something that I believe would be very popular. It wouldn't necessarily have to be the 29 route, but maybe the company could work with various city museums and attractions to offer a shuttle/ tour bus and discounted entry price.

Hello to all,
I was going to post this a few days ago but was not sure what the outcome would be.
So Pete Penman who is one of the 2 directors who own Yorkshire Buses is going to be doing a Charity Skydive on Saturday 5th of August 2023. Its in aid of raising money for a childrens charity and i have already sent a donation towards this very worthy cause.
I was just wondering if anyone else who follows this Yorkshire Buses thread knew about it and if they might be interested in donating towards the cause?.
Cheers,
Bryan.

I agree open toppers in general need more usage outside of seaside towns. We've got tones of routes with fantastic scenery, some even nominated as the most scenic in the whole country.

What are the plans for the rest of the fleet going forwards?
Will they all be getting repainted into the Yorkshire Buses livery or are some vehicles only with the company on a temporary basis?

Will they all be getting repainted into the Yorkshire Buses livery or are some vehicles only with the company on a temporary basis? we have a program in place now with one a month being done, we are awaiting some vehicles arriving which need to be done first and NVF, NVG and LWP are awaiting finalisation of some overall adverts.

That’s good to hear. Looking forward to seeing them repainted.
I really like the Scania OmniDekka - HWK and hoping to get a ride on it soon.
I used to travel on the Brighton & Hove OmniDekkas quite a lot when visiting family down there. The remaining ones in the fleet are scheduled for withdrawal at the end of the year, so it’s great to still have one to catch in Leeds.
