Assuming this is Leeds given the "Leeds Road", it's likely one of the three Hulleys vehicles that have gone to Connexions you've seen - I think the Enviro200 that has moved that way is in service in Hulleys livery whilst the two Evoras are waiting repaint before being entered into service.

The Holymoorside / Hady / Spital sections of the former 84/170 are what's being advertised for here.

There's only a finite number of double deckers and they need to be spread around across the network to best suit demand at different times of the day, including sometimes on some quieter routes which then go to work school services in the morning and afternoon - which obviously need to be deckers.

Tram 105 back in service. There is a closure between Cathedral and Middlewood / Malin Bridge on Sunday for engineering works on the overhead lines - replacement buses BL1, YE1 and BY1 will operate throughout the day (check times for operation) operated by First.

The problem bridge is the railway bridge to the cement works in Hope. Hathersage is 14'6". Hope is technically an arch bridge, signed as an advisory 14'3" - it's been measured to be 14'5" on the inbound side but 15' on the outbound (towards Castleton) which is why we only allow Geminis through...

Not everything stated here is correct. The hybrid Streetlites/Streetdecks for the 1, 1a and 56 (as was) were funded by Buses for Sheffield. The 120 has not had specific buses bought for it since the Hybrid E400s arrived for Stagecoach in 2011. The First Enviros came via the 2014 Commonwealth...

The bridge at Hathersage isn't the problem - it's 14'6", both the buses mentioned are 14'5". I think the issue lies with the bridge at Hope, which although is cleared for buses at 14'5", is marked up as advisory 14'3". Not sure as to whether or not that would be an issue for Stagecoach - just...

Yes, there is a small PVR increase, which has been covered by the influx of ‘09 plate B9TLs from Manchester, alongside those which have moved to displace the enviro400s.

36515 has returned to York; 39601 has returned from Leeds and is back in use at Olive Grove. 37259 becomes the second B9TL to be withdrawn for scrap.

The final third arrived this afternoon.

Tram 105 (or at least, two thirds of it!) has returned to Nunnery from Kilmarnock this afternoon, following repairs to damage sustained in a collision with a skip lorry in July 2021.

I understand that McKenna Brothers have been in for the last few days to weeks trying to get the rest of the refurbished Geminis branded up, so they should all be done soon.

I understand, but could be wrong, it's to keep a uniform fleet of Gold buses now the Scania will be becoming more frequent on the X17 again.

The Herdings branch was half-hourly up until November 2021 I think it was - the frequency was reduced to hourly at the same time all evening services were reduced to half hourly to cope with a staff shortage - the reduction of the purple service and the evening service meant that the frequency...

It's in the "old" Gold livery
