1900 tracking as an E200MMC today. Unsure which one it was though. Wonder if 1900 is just a spare ticket machine as 1900 hasnt seen service for a while?
Update: Can confirm that 1075 is tracking as 1900. I think it wants to be a double decker on the 231/232!😅

I'd hate to be a passenger on the 181/3 on the climb from Manchester Rd to Linthwaite Church up Causeway Side on one of these.(on the rare occasion these work this route) For a younger person than me, it'd be quicker to walk. |

In other words, and as quoted to me a few years ago by a senior First engineer when new buses were being procurred..."please, no more ADL crap!" |

Going off topic but we now know why Huddersfield's haven't been done as it seems the mod to the Halifax ones hasn't worked too well, Leeds and Bradford Road isn't what you'd call a proper hill, more of a gradual slope so they should have easily coped fine. |

I have nothing but positive things to say about the ones that have had the dangerous performance inhibiting Baumot system removed. There are still one or two that are slightly slower than the rest but that's the case with all buses. |

Didn't manage to catch the reg, but A&A have an ex-First eclipse out on the 30 today. It's in a red/grey-white livery; the same as one of their presidents.
They also had a white gemini parked up outside Horsforth Park, which didn't seem to be going anywhere, or infact have a driver. and another Gemini sat on the ring road.

The X84 branded buses seem to have returned to the route in number - currently on board 33487. Not necessarily the best thing from a passenger's point of view as the charging sockets on the newer Leeds City buses do come in handy at times when my phone decides not to charge at night!

Desperate times at Hunslet with a couple on loan from other depots too |
