Did you see FJ17PYA in service - it had no labels when I saw it and seemed out of place amongst the deckers and 70 seat school coaches?

Someone was having a right go at Northern's Twitter team for how hot it was on their replacement coach and tweeted a picture of the Howards Yutong. Maybe they would have preferred a 30oC overcrowded Pacer?

Well depending on how well they do this week with the work at Moses Gate I can see the Railway being shut for another week yet, I just hope operators have been told so the current Rail Replacements can still run next week.

Northern have published replacement bus timetables until 31st August, 1st September is a strike day, then beyond that it will be reviewed again

NR having earlier said their would be up to four weeks of single line working, have now revised the plan and say line will reopen next Wednesday. I wonder if enough schools are having " inset days" to make buses available next Monday and Tuesday?

And of course drivers are needed as well. If an operator has a number of drivers on holiday next Monday and Tuesday then some buses won't be leaving the depot!
