you are right went on 32515 and that went at some speed and with a lady driver last xmas time

Didn't see 37288. Did see 32509 heading down to Manchester on the 5.40pm departure from Piccadilly.

in the process of doing a fleet list for first west yorkshire/north yorkshire should be on website in next few days

When I was at ExCel yesterday, the security guy at the Park & Ride stop confirmed I couldn't ride the buses. However, he did say the new 12-reg Volvo B9TLs "will be in Leeds before long anyway". Maybe they are destined for route 4 and to enable more Olympians to be withdrawn, or even B7TLs to be cascaded elsewhere?

Service 4 Is getting Ex-Olympic buses (even though nobody knows what type),FTRs are going onto 72,72 B9TLs are going onto service 617/8 & 607,Volvo B7Ls are ment to be going elsewere

In Other News,Service 363 Is to be renumberd X63,Following X6 Route but using all stops (in other words - following current 363 But missing Out Odsal Top)

So what's the point of renumbering it?

dont know - im thinking they may be planning shared X6/X63 Branding once the B9TLs are painted - might also stop the change of confusion for passengers thinking it still goes via odsal top
