All normal workings these are. I don't think they are. 97 is allocated ex London Presidents of both Trident & B7TL variety - same as 98. 30862 is alaways allocated on 81/82/85 - only came off recently due to roadworks at Totley. 120 is an E400/E400H route. B1 Tram replacement is allocated deckers, not singles. 72/73 is allocated ALX 400's - usually of the LT52 batch. B9TL's in DO should only go on the 50/50A & the 55 routes - there were brought in for these routes as part of the A638 Quality Partnership scheme. 16 Broomhouse Lane is a B7L route, to be honest a Pointer sized bus would cope rather well on the route. 219 is a E300/ALX 300 route and at the moment is usually getting the ex Oxford/ex Manchester Magic Bus E300's. E200's go on the 93/93A/95 & the 1 Staincross alongside the branded 62 plates as since 2 went to Rawmarsh for 70 there are not enough 62 plates to cover the work. 92 Millhouse Green usually gets allocated any type of Dart. X78 gets B9TL's. 22 gets B7RLE'S. X17 gets E400's. X78 branded B9TL's on 11/12 to me seems a very unusual working. 222 is an E300/ALX300 route. 66 usually gets B7L's. T-JDT Crusaders i believe are supposed to stay local due to engines being very worn out. ALX 400's were replaced on 57 a few months ago. W-DWX's should only go on 83/85/87. 6 is a Solo route on Mon - Sat. 20/21 is ALX 300/E300 route. 56/227 usually gets either Darts on full or MPD length. Normal workings then.

All of Tates services can get any type of bus, with the exception of the 213 in Dewsbury usually being solid E200s. Although the evening & Sunday services were usually E200s, Solos are becoming common!

66 hasn't had a full B7l allocation for ages, since the B6s lost the 71 they seem to have migrated to 66 and even 49, ALX400s can turn up just about anywhere.
real life is not quite as rigid as bus spotter world

X78 branded B9 on the 11 41781 on Maltbys 61636 on 14, guessing its on loan MV02 B7l on the 120, 60715?
Not unusual as far as Hybrids are concerned, but a 62 plate Hybrid appeared on Tram reps today for the first time. So far, it's been 61 plates only.
