The branding on that E200MMC is excellent. It's eye-catching, but retains Stagecoach's corporate theme at the same time.

So far treated is 35135.

Metro contract changes in October will see Transdev take over operation of service 948 (Eccleshill Hospital - Apperley Bridge Rail Station), 949 (Apperley Bridge Station - Thorpe Edge Circular) and 967 (Leeds Brand Airport - Otley - Menston) from TLC (however the 948/9 are to be reduced to peak-time operation only), and services 960 (Ilkley - Ben Ryhdding), 961 (Ilkley - Hebers Ghyll), 962 (Ilkley - Otley) and 964 (Otley - Cambridge Estate Circular) from Connexions.
