Does anyone know the closest location to either London or Leeds where bendy buses are operating in service?

Hatfield - the Hatfield University shuttle is run using ex First London & ex Truro P&R Artics. Brighton & Hove has some for the 25 as well. I can't remember if Menzies still operates their Scania Artics around Heathrow otherwise that would be the nearest ones London wise. |

It's rare that a staff bus works a public route (ie car parks) as it's an inconvenience to remove all the staff advertising on the buses prior to them entering service. And when a staff bus does operate a passenger service, it's never a bendy bus. |

However, First Manchester operate some Scania Omnicity bendis on route 135 from Manchester to Bury in Mon-Sat daytimes. This route tends to be Volvo B9TL for a few daytime and all evening and Sunday journeys. |

Doesn't Hyperlink still run between Leeds and Bradford? That uses First FTRs.

Arriva certainly ran bendies on the 500 and 699 routes in Liverpool when I was last there. Arriva also have ex London Citaro Gs on University service 80/80A in Leicester. |

The Leeds Hyperlink must cost quite a lot - you have to have ticketing staff on every bus. Must be lovely for the drivers tho, boxes in away from all the passengers!... All they have to do is drive the bus! |
