Which mini roundabout? The only mini roundabouts the X98/99 go past between Wetherby and Redhall are in Wetherby?

As previously stated the junction of the A58 with Red Hall Lane, leeds where the junction is controlled by a mini roundabout.
Nowhere near Wetherby
Ah yes. That junction. There’s a few on that stretch, including two further toward Wetherby that go to Shadwell.
It is quite a challenging junction in fairness. I don’t like coming out of the petrol station because the traffic comes so quickly off the roundabout and the curvature and speed makes it difficult to find a safe point at which to join the main carriageway.

Thats part of the YAPP logo if you watch the Youtube video it moves all over the place

Interesting... 816 is allocated to the M1/M3 today instead of 97 which it's supposed to always be now

It does feel a tad short-sighted to only just be doing the repaints and refurbishments of the open-toppers smack-bang in the middle of open-top season...Latest update regarding the B7TL Open-Top fleet:

I live ten minutes down the road. It’s a road I travel on all the time. The nearest mini roundabout to there is on Redhall Lane, well away from the accident site.

Currently the open-top fleet is only used on weekends. The plan is to get as many of the open-top buses finished in time for the summer holidays for when the 99 & 100 go to daily and the 99 increases in frequency to every 10 minutes so more open-top buses will be needed.

719 has tracked on both services 99 and 100 today. So is 719 on one of them and open tops on the other.

719 can't have been on both as it tracked simultaneously on the 99 & 100. 739 was simultaneously tracking on the 64 & the 99, if I had to guess, it was on the 64 and an open-top was on the 99 719 could be on the either but not both.

Believe this is a ticket machine error, it’s actually 20945 which is now out on the road

Just noticed that the Go Ahead registration above for the 61/A says it's not supported by subsidies, does that mean Go Ahead are taking it on commercially? Seems like madness if they are as it's always been subsidised since probably the late 90s due to how low passenger numbers are.

Ah OK. Hopefully the 26 plate Enviros enter service soon, they are desperately needed on the X46.

Looks like Optare Metrocity 24039 is back at Procters from Fourways.

Having had another look at the 82/83/84 timetable from 20th July, the Friday & Saturday only 84 evening journeys between York Piccadilly & Upper Poppleton have been removed. If I had to guess, low usage would be the main reason and I'm surprised that they weren't removed in the end of May service changes. The weekday 84 morning journey between York Piccadilly & Upper Poppleton has also been removed. It surprised me that EY added them in the first place.
I've seen rumours that Procters will be running some of the 82/83/84 from 20th July, perhaps explaining why the early morning and evening 84 journeys between Boroughbridge & York have been removed in the new timetable.

Photo evidence now proves it was actually 20945 (incorrectly inputted on the ticket machine as 20946) - was on the 56 until lunch time before the bus got changed out for 20944

A couple of observations from EY:
- Moors Rover tickets are now issued & accepted on the X81, allowing connectivity from the X81 onto the M8 In Castle Howard and the wider Moorsbus network.
- As part of the timetable changes for the 81/X81 on 31st May, Bulmer no longer appears in any of the timetables I can find online despite both services still running through the village on the way to Castle Howard from Sheriff Hutton. Presumably this is an error in the data being uploaded.
- EY has joined First York, York Pullman & Connexions in providing buses for the 197 York Racecourse Shuttle Service. They've been using mostly EvoSetis with the odd E400 MMC appearing, operating from Pocklington depot.

Arriva and Transdev had all but pulled out of doing the 197s when I used to do them for York Pullman (my last was 2023), they would turn up on an adhoc basis, so it's good another operator has joined, especially after YP became part of FirstBus.

Reliance also did the 197 with their last season being 2024 as they sold off their operations to Transdev in January 2025. Last year it was just First York, York Pullman & Connexions. Nobody seems to have told ITravel York, who still list Arriva and Transdev as operators of the 197 but not Connexions.

Ahh yes, how could I forget Reliance, I used to use their ticket machine on Race weekends as we only had a couple with contactless at the time!

If a company operated in York over the last few years, chances are they operated the 197 at some point.
