Sorry I'm just really bad with counties and regions, etc., I think it's classed West Yorkshire!

Anyway, I never want to see another Enviro400 ever again. Must have counted about 40-50 in First colours, along with one or two B7TL Geminis and an ALX400.

Saw loads of Arriva stuff as well, although I must say Leeds seems very much like Newcastle - in the sense that certain areas are dominated by different operators.

Saw quite a bit of YorkshireTiger action too!

A RURAL bus service, rescued from being axed last autumn after Pennine buses folded, is proving a success, say public transport watchdogs.

The 580 service between Skipton and Settle, was taken on by Kirkby Lonsdale Bus Hire, despite the route having no passenger fare subsidy.

KLBH agreed to take over the bus route for a trial period of 12 months. It is about half way through that time.
It's operation has been followed by the Southern Dales Transport Action Group which has carried out a "Greenprint for action" outlining how it would like to see the development of regional transport networks.
Colin Speakman, of Friends of DalesBus, said: "The 580 has done very well indeed and is meeting all financial targets and is a success, even in winter. Once the better weather comes and more visitors use the service, it should do even better. "
The only drawback was the afternoon gap when the bus was used on school duties and had cost implications which were being examined by the bus company.
Mr Speakman said the service became the 581 from Settle through Ingleton to Kirkby Lonsdale which was still funded by NYCC and a new Sunday 580/581 was due to start on May 3, the first regular Sunday bus along the A65 for about 30 years.

On a broader level, they were looking to recruit bus user champions for each village along bus routes to ensure timetable literature was distributed and bus time table cases kept clean now that North Yorkshire County Council had dropped that service.
They were also considering establishing "bus buddies" who would help older people, suffering isolation, to have days out on the local bus network.
Proposals were being considered to publish a booklet aimed at residents and visitors which would contain route timetables along with places to visit such as market towns, heritage attractions and walks, all accessible by train and bus.

(02 Apr 2015, 6:12 pm)Robert wrote Not according to the website. If it has, it should be noted on the website in the coming days. That vehicle does however operate service 121 between Hull and Scarborough so it could have been on layover there.

(02 Apr 2015, 6:26 pm)Robert wrote Service 121 is shared between Scarborough and Hull.

1. Why is the X20 called the X20? It started off as an express running straight along the A165 to Blue Dolphin rather than going around Cayton Village. This continued until this season when it was routed to go around Cayton and follow the same route as the standard 120 from Scarborough to Filey. Would it not be better to renumber the X20 journeys to 120 and advertise the service as every 30 minutes between Scarborough and Filey for the next season?
   
2. Who came up with the idea to remove the North Bay turning circle that the 109 used? Absolutely bonkers in my opinion.
   
3. Scarborough and District need to repair some details displayed on their P&R Centros. At least two still display 'At least every 12 minutes' rather than 15.

It's thought they will be operating Park & Ride Routes 59 (joining the first batch that currently operate that route) and the 9. If I recall correctly from my travels down there last year, the 9 operates with Wright Eclipse Urbans.
