The reliability was awful and it struggled to keep to time across Leeds.
Wonder if they will do more uncoupling then?
Oh is that what all of the road closures and coppers were for this morning. Wondered what it was as I was driving to work
Bus Lists on the Web (buslistsontheweb.co.uk) has now confirmed the following information for the Electroliners:
These are uni liveried buses. They look interesting (Unobus copypaste, a Ray Stenning masterclass) to say the least
It’s clear they’ve stuck with the base Electric Purple scheme and just changed the front colour - Pink is currently used for the Uni buses so they’re using it again for these.
Must have missed this...
Panic ensued as bus burst into flames after bystander stepped in to alert driver
PANIC ensued in Bradford city centre as a bus burst into flames after a bystander stepped in to alert the driver while a disabled man was initially…www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk
"West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service (WYFRS) was called to reports of a large vehicle on fire in Broadway, in Bradford city centre, at 3.04pm on Monday.
Three crews – two from Bradford and one from Shipley – rushed to the scene."
Unsure so far of the cause but arson must be a strong contender looking at the pics etc... The usual nonsense on Social Media that it's an "electric bus" on fire and that's the cause of it, pretty sure these are diesel (albeit micro hybrids)...
I missed 36526-530 when first inputted, but buslistsontheweb.co.uk has confirmed the last 4 StreetDeck Electroliners, and last 2 GB Kites:
It looks like this cancellation has been rescinded now?
I was told on a west yorkshire thread about this. It's a good service and now they are using the buses moved from Halifax - the 36313 lot with high back seating. They are really good up hills.
Yep
Looking at the First York fleet list linked, I don’t see any Wrightbus StreetLites, so they must all be gone.
Four have gone to Worcester and four are in store pending transferring to another company.
Yes. None in yard or on road today
Kites can’t go on 10s until the route is changed to avoid Leeman Road - 2s and 10s will be the last routes to go electric for this reason
Are people on the 6 even more loyal?
@Leedsbusman mentioned before that this is the case #954
Any ideas where the Diesel StreetDecks are due to go?
Some of them have gone to First Potteries, as below (not my photo)

5 total (3 more to go) to potteries, not sure about the other 7
