Saw one of the Leeds’ new single decker electrics on staff bus duties tonight on Boar lane
I’ve a few questions
How many are heading for Bramley?
Likely routes? Assume the 4/4F/16/16A for the deckers?
Had one last jaunt out on the 68s & MKV’s today. Outbound (1634 exLDS-YRK) was slow following a northern stopper, nothing really exciting.
The return from YRK 20:38 crikey we took off like a shot from plat 3 at YRK. Really felt the power of the 68 (leading) and we’ve gone hell for leather since...
been looking around to find a answer- but not getting far
1) NPR is still happening but will now go via Bradford then onto Leeds? Or to Marsden then separate routes to Leeds/ Bradford?
2) £12b for Manchester to Liverpool- is this to fill in for the HS2 infastrucer between...
The reliability was awful and it struggled to keep to time across Leeds.
As a regular user on the Northern leg (now 38/39) I can’t really grumble at the new service. Some of timing is a bit unthought out but very rare to find cancellation and lateness is minutes not half hour +
The 802’s (19 of them) aren’t heavily diagramed at present if I am right in thinking.
7 on Newcastle-Liverpool
4 on Man Picc- Newcastle
1 on Anglo-Scottish (WCML)
2 on Newcastle-Edinburgh
14 out of 19
Looks like hunslet is expecting more drivers to book on than Bramley going off the frequencies that have been published.
Hoping the dispute is settled quickly
The splitting for the 51/52 is very welcome news, it really is so unreliable. Be interesting to see if they keep the same frequencies on the split routes.
Have Leeds (Hunslet) had a new batch of Streetdecks delivered? I spotted a 22 plated example on the 6 the other day. It had a different style of Hanover display downstairs as well.
Usually 3 tph operate when York-Leeds is shut. 2 TPE & 1XC.
Hull-Leeds has in the past been RRB but TPE now sign Leeds-South Milford via Cass so could see a 4th running picking up calls between Leeds-Selby via Cass.
