12 of Leeds Hunslet Park's Vovlo B9TL/Wright Gemini 2s are due to transfer to First Cyrmu this coming week. In exchange, Bramley depot are to receive 12 Streetlites from the same source. A number of spare deckers from Bramley and Bradford depots will be loaned to Hunslet Park pending the arrival of the first of the 284 new vehicles due for Leeds in the next three years - reported number of 34 due in the autumn for use on the 1 (Holt Park-City Centre-Beeston) and 6 (Holt Park-Bus Station).
There have been rumours of 'deckers being cascaded from Leeds to the Manchester fleet, as the bendis are being withdrawn. Investment is certainly needed as (not including TFGM owned midis and the Vantage fleet) barely 37% of the Manchester fleet is under 8 yo, and over 10% will be too old to run tendered journeys from 1st Sept.
