nine of Citario's are due to move to Aberdeen.
There's been a misquote somewhere as 9 has been mentioned a few times, however only 8 (11108-11115) are due actually to move.

Spotted a First Leicester single decker in Huddersfield on driver training duties this morning.
Whatever happened with the results of the Service 42 (Old Farnley to Oakwood) Consultation, were any of the changes ever introduced?
From what I remember there were two options, split the route in two or heavily revising the timetable so that there were less buses on the route.
From Sunday 3rd May, we are making some small changes to our services across West Yorkshire, mainly affecting services on a Sunday or in the evenings. The affected services are outlined below:
Hudds
183, 185, 301, 302, 306, 308, 310, 314, 324, 328, 342, 387; 371, 372, 363
Halifax
501, 503, 508, 521, 522, 523, 541, 542, 571, 576, 590, 592.
Bradford
363, 576
Leeds
1,2, 3, 3A, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11A, 12, 13, 13A, 19, 19A, 27, 28, 33, 34, 40, 42, 56
X26/X27 – Will no longer operate, service 11A will be extended to Thorpe Park to provide journeys between the Springs and Crossgates.
First West Yorkshire will be ushering in some changes come the 3rd May 2020. These changes affect both evening and Sunday services, whether these are temporary due to the current health risk or not I'm not sure as it doesn't say although the 11A timetable issued under forthcoming states its valid until the 26th June 2020 which is a Friday.

52 mins according to the timetable in the linkJust want to know, but how long does the 11a take to go from Leeds to the Springs?
and does it use a Streetlite normally?
York have converted the 4 to artic operation from today, during the daytimes. The route at Acomb has been changed to the old ftr routeing.
It did happen a couple of times in 2018 too as the odd (very odd!) working.Bendy’s back on the 4’s! Never thought that would happen again. Assume they are ex park & ride?
I'd be very surprised if these were anything other than temporary.
Notable that on a Sunday the 508 will no longer serve Leeds, finishing at Dawson's Corner.
It has been changed to include some Saturday services. I may be a little cynical but turning the 508 at Dawson’s Corner permanently would enable the bus route and the depot at Halifax I guess to retain a full complement of pre Euro VI buses if the new CAZ cameras are not located right on Dawson’s Corner roundabout.
For non locals, the buses turn on a section of road that is technically just inside the Inner Ring Road, which is the boundary of the new Clean Air Zone.

It's the last of the 4 Halifax to Leeds routes we had in the 90s.
If the 508 was turned permanently at Dawson's Corner, wouldn't it make sense for the 508 to continue to Seacroft or even Cross Gates to cover the ring road? This would allow passengers from Halifax to interchange at certain points along the route e.g DC, Lawnswood, Seacroft, Cross Gates ? The 9 could be reduced to a shuttle between Dawson's Corner and the White Rose Centre. It'd make more sense for First West Yorkshire in create a new "4Series" to make up for any connections that are lost with the 508 and could in part replace part of the 16 and 16A which never seemed to run to time. A 4Series could be packaged as services 4, 4A, 4G, 4R and X4.
The 16 could then been turned at Leeds Park Row on journey's to and from Whinmoor.
- 4 - Leeds > New Wortley > Pudsey then as current 16 route to Farsley > Bramley and to Leeds Vicar Lane.
- 4A - Leeds > Bramley > Farsley then as current 4 route to Pudsey > New Wortley and to Leeds Vicar Lane.
- 4G -As current route to Galloway Lane.
- 4R - This would replace the 16A through Rodley using the same route as 4 and 4A but via Rodley rather than Intake Lane.
- X4 - This would replace the 14 and X14 with the odd journey starting / terminating at Owlcoats.
