I've got a positive observation... Arriva isn't lying about the growth of the 229! I take this route two times a week, usually catching it at the same times. Went from being pretty empty to the bus being half-full, pretty interesting to see how much a minor route change can have this much impact Not doubting you, but could this be a result of the railway being slightly messed up with the on/ off strikes and subsequent cancellations? I thought about this but even with several trains cancelled in a row... The train is STILL quicker! I also usually don't commute on days where train strikes are taking place. Happened once and it was the worst experience imaginable, stood up all the way to Birstall...

Saw 1515 on the 113 earlier, and the 1522 on the 110. Looks like these are coming over to Wakefield quickly now. Is the 113 a Belle Isle depot service? No 113 is run from Dewsbury Depot.

Should imagine if I do the next movements myself it'll be 1944 to hecky, then take 1517 to Dewsbury and from Dewsbury take 1054 to Wakefield. Will update when anything happens.

Saw a double decker in Outwood, possibly a First vehicle, showing route BR5. I guess a rail replacement service. Couldn’t make out the reg or any other details. This was about 16:50 this evening.

News article mentions that the new streetlites are for the... 328! Could be reach but since ten streetlites is a bit higher higher than the existing PVR, I'm guessing they still have plans to revert the route back to the old frequency once the driver shortage is sorted?
