wypte : Message: Re: [WYPTE] last former west yorkshire pte buses

I saw 5150 on route 601 at Dudley Hill roundabout today.

I don't live in Bradford anymore so not sure if that is an unusual route for it to be one.

James Fairchild might have some contacts at First regarding a possible "final running day".

Cheers

Paul
