blue slugs

The big story towards the end of October was the Hyperlink vehicles on the 72, the livery is certainly an improvement on the previous ftr colours but that's about all i can see positive about the move. The seating capacity has been drastically cut from previous deckers and the road space per vehicle has been increased in length. Granted the frequency has increased from every 10 to every 7 minutes but anyone observing these vehicles will note their tendency to bunch. leaving wide gaps in service. Wifi is a step in the right direction but on the wrong service, most passengers on the service are local journey hops into Leeds or Bradford from the middles of the route. Wifi is more accustomed to interurban services where people spend longer than 30 minutes on the bus. Anyone travelling between the two cities here usually opt for the train or the X6 so its fitting is questionable on these vehicles. Even the name "Hyperlink".....whats that meant to mean ? must be the future...i mean ftr...remember that ?
