Longstaff Demo

Here's a special demo for Longstaff of Batley it's been with the company since Friday 26th February 2016 and been seen on AL6 school bus , then it's been used on the 205 Mirfield / Dewsbury, I've been on 3 times getting to know the driver who had it the most had feedback off him ( he said it drives beautiful , fuel is great ) passengers feedback was great on it aswell ( lovely seats , nice looking ) only thing what I've been getting back is there's not a lot of bells for the passengers only 6 on a 44 seater should be at least about 12 as the route it does gets a lot of OAPs on , that's who was asking about bells ( a lot asked where my blue bus - driver said its a demonstrator, then he told me a lot of them though Yorkshire Tiger taken over Longstaff ) if the demonstrators goes great for the week he as it he might keep it longer as Optare doesn't have plans for it next week ( going to have to wait and find out ) but on Saturday 27th February 2016 it was out till 14:50 then had to go to the depot as the driver who was on next bit couldn't drive it , so I rang up to see where it was and the person on phone said there's a new bus on order ( I asked which bus ) he said my son does the orders and I don't know ( still waiting to find out ) as Optare as loaned them this lovely Metrocity I think it may be a Optare bus on order / The new bus on order will replace FD02 SEO As the gearbox is really bad  other things aswell and now only being used on schools and not the 205

Reg plate of this Demo is YJ64 DWK ( Can still see the Arriva fleet numbers on it 0001 )
