its definitely not easy to plan anything in the current climate
Ahh, cheers - I always expect First to have an older fleet from my past experiences.
First buses also don’t seem to track on bustimes, so it’s a bit harder to see what it’s like.
First Leeds is majority Streetdecks now in the very smart green LeedsCity livery, with the B5 hybrids, and a handful of B9s, Streetlites and B7RLEs staying progressively being repainted too. The E400s have gone to Halifax to replace older stock there, and B7 Geminis can only be found in Halifax and Huddersfield these days if I remember right. Halifax also have a few Solos around but I'm not sure if they're stuck to a specific route.
Arriva meanwhile have the smartest fleet in the country in Yorkshire in my opinion, and decent variety of mainly newer stock with the odd few older oddballs still living on, including the Spectra as said earlier. Tiger meanwhile is the complete opposite, less said the better.
