Confirmation it was on early morning but its suitability was questioned by a driver and was changed to an E200 mini around 1000. Penfold

No road is too small for a bus, if a Fire Engine can get down it so can a bus.

Fire Engines are only about 11m long compared to a 12m bus - plus I Think people are more willing to move their parked cars to let a fire engine through compared to a bus.

Yeah at globe we use the e300s, quite nasty around Broadowler and headlands estate, and the left turn at either end of waterton road, its also nasty around coronation street in wrenthorpe and Hebden road at eastmoor, but can be done, depending on the day of the week too

Hi stephen01 yeah we have got the ones on waterton Road, and there is also a bad one at upton near the doctors on the 485s, however I've noticed the shorter wheelbase mmcs we have bounce a lit more than the longer ones but yeah I've definitely had the e300s on the 120s, the speedbumps on there are quite high

The issue with MMCs (or anything longer) on the 122 shorts is the right turn out of Lindsay Avenue onto Broadway where there is a traffic island on the junction and bollards on the other side of the road. Nothing at all to do with the speed bumps ! If it was the full route to Ossett or Gawthorpe then any vehicle could potentially be used ! Penfold

Fire Engines are only about 11m long compared to a 12m bus - plus I Think people are more willing to move their parked cars to let a fire engine through compared to a bus. Its not a choice of removing cars, as someone could be far away from the car so they wouldn't clear for a fire engine. Also pretty sure the E200 MMCs aren't 12 metres so not sure what your point is here.

19:20 departure on the 592 was a Streetlite! 2120* Late in bound journey of 69584 meant they took a spare bus so the 2120 trip ran on time. I definitely wasn't driving the delayed (due to needing a change over for freezing cold bus to 69482) 2025 Roch-Hx and that one left Todmorden as definitely not mine.

I just remember seeing it on the 586 at the evening.

Nasty accident closed Knaresborough Road Harrogate this morning and from its tracking it looks like the passengers on the 0746 1D to Harrogate were compensated for their heavilly delayed journey by a tour of the Starbeck depot bustimes.org/vehicles/hrgt-1705-h5esu#journeys/516977102
