- So after a while watching the First South Yorkshire brand expand, I thought it was time to return up to Leeds to see how the First West Yorkshire LeedsCity brand is doing and my goodness it has grown! In this comprehensive video, we take an overview of the entire branded network by sampling the new core route lines across the network. We also look at some of the latest investments and discuss what is going well and could be improved later this year to improve the brand even further. Even before this video begins I just want to say how much the new brand does looks superb in Leeds compared to the mismatched liveries and buses of the past, yes there's a few minor issues so far but they are nothing compared to how it used to be!!

Thank you for a great snapshot of the network portrayed here for us. I live in hope that you produce a full route, front seat upstairs ride someday.
No worries I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I am currently in the process of doing some route visuals as they are called for certain bus services so do keep a lookout for them as I'll be launching them as part of a new series very soon.
Really enjoyed this video, great as usual. There are a couple of points I want to make regarding routes running in from Bradford:
1) The 72 is meant to be operated with Streetdecks I think, as 35214-35228 moved from Bramley to Bradford with the 72 a couple of years ago, however as I'm writing this (31/05/2021) only 3 of the 8 buses on the 72 today are Streetdecks. The X6 usually fares better and has a full suite of branded Streetdecks but occasionally a B7TL/B9TL will turn up.
2) Interestingly as a result of Leeds -> Bradford bus transfers there are now probably more buses at Bradford depot with Pulse branding than there are at Leeds depots, even though the branding was made for Leeds, which is quite funny imo.
Again the video was a great watch, cheers for making it :)
Thank you I'm glad you liked the video. Aye Streetdecks 35214-28 went to Bradford in October 2018 with the service changes that saw the 72 go to Bradford and 576 get fully taken over by First Halifax. They do tend to be good allocating at the moment with Sunday service been the main day when allocations are more B9s. Regarding the X6, the new every 7 min frequency at peak times means there isn't enough X6 Streetdecks to cover thus why B9s and B7s appear a lot more on there currently.
At 10:16 the 7 always go through the guide way and Alex was it a little weird going on the 7 non gideway❤
Can't wait for summer
Is is gonna be good!
TBH I think that the buses with colours that aren't a green front should actually have brandings on the side for the red they have the 1, 6, 8, 27, 28, 29 and occasionally X84.
Aye well it would be good having route numbers however the red front works to an extent especially now the colour codes are on bus stops
Your videos have come a long way mate. From the early omsi days to these vlogs. good work
Thank you for your continued support it is greatly appreciated! I must say compared to the early days the videos are much nicer and more enjoyable to record too!
@@AndMoreCentral that is good to hear!
Thats a good video. I like the Leeds City brand livery in the two tone green. It would be nice if first could invest in places like Halifax. At least give them some brand new buses.
Thank you! Yep I do agree there though they seem to be focusing all the money into Leeds at the moment sadly
I saw one of those electric yutong busses on the 51 route last week!
Ah very nice, they seem to be getting out and about a bit now!
Got ex first Leeds buses in Manchester as diamond North West don't change the interior of their buses.
So In Leeds are are the first street decks using B5H or just standard B5TL engines as I know in England 🏴 first use a mix of those type of buses
No, the StreetDecks, StreetDeck HEVs and StreetDeck Micro Hybrid all use the same Daimler OM934 engines.
Looks nice
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Jake .... think I met you in Bakewell the other day!
Most recent trip I did to Bakewell was a few weeks ago so may not have been me unfortunately. I will be around that area in the next few weeks to come though so do keep your lookout!
@@AndMoreCentral It was the lads you met up with in Leeds I saw :)
Apparently, Lothian is odd for withdrawing buses slightly earlier than other companies would. This doesn't make sense, how is it odd wanting to have a young, high quality, well built, modern, highspec fleet? The issue is, people keep taking buses to far and as a result they are comparing to other companies when it comes to their favourite buses being sold, and they do all they can to complain. Buses are not made to people to listen and look at, for people to adore . Buses can be withdrawn whenever suitable, not when it is averaged to be. The younger the fleet, the better. The point of buses is to provide a good transport service
Spot on there, this video outlines the visual impacts of the brand and mostly from a customer prospective
South parkway not gipton it Seacroft
It's a shame the repaints don't get refurbished to the original Leeds city spec: with next stops, free wifi, charging, and Euro VI (or better).
The branding slightly changes above the door (contactless /m-tickets / free wifi / USBs / Tracking) on some of them but they are the same. - must be false advertising to say free wifi here and not provide it.
also, they want to start/trail DRT in East Leeds soon™ (so its a taxi system not time tables)
Aye there are a few mishaps in the brand that is a shame but at the end of the day we have to make most of the fact we were given a new brand that on the main front does look okay
There's also a new Park & Ride service PR3 coming to Leeds soon with the electric BYDs. I think that First Bus Leeds is starting to ditch streetdecks and moving onto electric vehicles.
UPDATE: Despite the new PR3 BYDs being in service for a service, they will be withdrawn pretty soon and replaced by brand new streetdecks. I have no idea where they will be heading afterwards.
Transdev said that they will be adding regular buses this Summer up to Whitby and I find out that there is only 3 buses per day to Whitby and no buses on the 840 actually go to Leeds which is a joke.
good job you don't want the 845 to Fiely/Bridlington!
@@toxigames LOL the 845 no longer exists. It was a daily service now it only runs summer as the X43 in to Scarborough and then into Bridlington.
Aye it will be a shame theres no 840s from Leeds this year but I suppose the 843 been every 30 minutes will be okay
49, 50,50A should be leeds city branded 90% of the time they are green or grey and some times yellow
They originally were going to be the green striped buses before they decided to make green the generic spare colour
Steady94 spot on there!
@Steady_94 your correct on that😅
