Thanks for sharing.

It looks quite good however the end of the bus where the little bit of yellow is.. to me it should be blue.

Where is the Optare factory again?

I agree that yellow bit at the end isn't quite right! A nice design all the same. I believe the Optare factory is somewhere in the Leeds area.

(29 Feb 2016, 3:35 pm)South Tyne Lad The Optare Factory is in Sherburn-in-Elmet in North Yorkshire.

Optare was formed in early 1985 when Leyland closed the Charles H Roe premises in Leeds (next door to the Vickers tank factory), and, when Ashok Leyland acquired Optare they financed a new-build factory at S-i-E.

Optare plc can be considered the successor company to the historical British bus manufacturers Charles H Roe (through Optare), founded in Leeds in 1923, and East Lancashire Coachbuilders, (through Darwen), founded in 1934 in Blackburn.

I'm going to update the screens into the new 'line plan' format, retaining the media used at present, in the very near future.

I've no idea why this is happening, but it won't when this update is rolled out.

It's very random. It always starts at the Stone Trough and finishes at The Angel. It's a weird blackspot. 

It'd be nice if the NSA matched the stop names on the App

To be fair, this happens a lot and way before roadworks 

Low Fell didn't seem to cause any issues. It's fairly clear  run through there now. 

The Interchange temporary lights are ridiculous mind. Imagine that's causing chaos.

When coming out of Leeds and heading north towards York, you can see where the railhead was for the site at Crossgates.
