Managed to get a B7RLE (69350) on the 645, a B9TL on the 620 (37664) and a StreetLite on the 617 (47639). The allocations were crazy that day with double-decks on single-deck routes and vice versa for First Bradford. Was certainly great bumping into you on the way to Bradford Interchange. Also, I do agree with you about inconsiderate passengers on the bus. I dealt with worse that day with a driver sticking out a middle finger and some passengers telling to that I'm not allowed to film even though I'm not filming directly at them.

Fantastic video Alex this years Boxing Day allocations was interesting I was very happy to have 2578 on 281 and many more other buses I had a trip on 1072 I saw you just near bus station 😁 I dident even realise 1423 was on 268 that has shocked me

Sheffield had Scanias on the 120 and 7 and First running some Stagecoach services which I found so unusual

I’ve been only been on 1 Boxing Day bus on the 508 Branch road to Leeds on the Hd/Hx connect 🚌

Officially, AY staff were told to use South Street, and on the running boards/timetables it said South Street. Metro, I think put something on their website for Boxing Day that Dewsbury Bus station would be shut, along with Wakefield and Batley. But hey ho, something always goes wrong on AY Boxing Day services, and this year was no different, with some desti's programmed with Hecky routes (one of the 69 plates had 200/201 on), unlike last year where Heckmondwike and Dewsbury services were omitted and duties hadn't been uploaded. Maybe next year (Boxing Day 24), they might actually have everything in position before hand.

Interesting how drivers who give up their boxing day have to commute away from their normal depot, because it's cheaper not to open their own depots. I hope they got travel allowance and a reasonable enhancement as a thank you.

[@andrewwardman2550]

No, they don't get a Travel Allowance for Boxing Day. Staff who volunteer to work on Boxing Day service agree that Belle Isle depot is their normal depot for that day.

@@andrewwardman2550 not good really.

And More Central, you’re lucky to get a first bus on Boxing Day!
