Tracky Metrobuses
Just been looking through some old photos online, and an intriguing comment has come up on this Tracky picture. ? It is suggested in the final comment that the Metrobuses 701-16 (the only low-height MKII Metrobuses built) were initially destined for West Riding, who declined them and YT took up the order, with West Riding taking a handful of final Olympians instead.? Was this the case, or not true at all? It would seem odd, seeing as West Riding took Leyland (or Bristols) exclusively for years previously. /adam |

Re: CT Plus, Huddersfield
Colin ah yes. Wasn't there a previous route, that I now can't remember the number of - maybe 386 or 388? - that did most of the 377/378 route then looped around west and south Huddersfield? On Sun, 17 May 2020 at 23:27, C Billington via <billogs41=[email protected]> wrote: Hi. --

Re: CT Plus, Huddersfield
Ian interesting - I wonder if that work for TLC was stretching them that bit too far. Is it all of the TLC services in Huddersfield? If so that's the 341, 354/55, 374/75, 377/78, and the 900/01/02 - as I recall most were interworked in a fairly complex pattern (certainly the 354/55, 374/75, 377/78 have all been interworked back to the days of First running them with 709Ds!).

CT Plus, Huddersfield
CT Plus take over a number of Huddersfield area services latterly operated by TLC from tomorrow.
Initially a yard on Churn Milk Lane, Ovenden is being used for this operation, though I gather a yard the the Brighouse area is being procured for longer term use. The initial fleet for this new operation is believed to be E200s YX65 RHJ (from the Leeds fleet) and YX15 XMJ (from the former Manchester Community Transport fleet), E200MMCs YX19 ONR/S (from the former Manchester CT fleet) and SN16 OVR (from Leeds) and Fiat minibus YO62 POH (from the Bristol fleet).

This year's Supertram Rail Replacement work
This year's SuperTram Rail Replacement work is going ahead as planned, despite the COVID19 situation. Work this year is focussed on the section between City and Halfway, starting on Monday and planned to run through to late September.
The first phase is for around 4 weeks and will result in no trams running between Birley and Halfway. Due to the current guidance on the use of public transport and the very low number of passengers at present no rail replacement bus services are being introduced at present. Local bus services (8, 80 and 120) provide sufficient alternatives. Ian |

I gather more E400s are due at Doncaster from Rotala (as ALX400 replacements), though not sure if it's all of the 17 you identify. Forgot to mention earlier - the 3x E200MMCs that were on loan to Olive Grove from Mistral were returned at the start of the Covid19 service reduction period.
