RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 13 Aug 2017 (06 Aug 2017, 12:38 pm)Kuyoyo First West Yorkshire The amount is now 10 of each. Streetlites 47629-31 are the first to arrive - 47629 now repainted (photo @ Chris Munden). The plan is to use them on 'Leeds City Bus' service 5 (Halton Moor to Bus Station then City Loop) replacing the early B7RLEs (although it is mainly the Scania Solars and B7Ls on there at present). The new deckers on order for Leeds are further Wright Streetdecks - including some HEV models for the Park & Ride services. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Tamesider - 13 Aug 2017 (06 Aug 2017, 12:38 pm)Kuyoyo Transdev Are there any more details of which buses from Bramley - and more especially, Bradford - will be loaned to HP? Will these be older types such as ALX400s or even early B9s? ta, Phil RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Malarkey - 13 Aug 2017 I would hope those Streetlites replace the remaining B6/B10's that First have in service in Leeds, also some kicking about in York and Bradford from what i've seen this week on my Yorkshire Tour, plenty of ALX400's still kicking about also across multiple areas. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 30 Aug 2017 (28 Jun 2017, 8:18 am)Kuyoyo First South Yorkshire Slight update on this: YX64 TXW became 44942 and replaced 44938, which was rejected. 44940/1 are now at Doncaster and have been joined by longer sisters YY16 YJT and MX14 FUH - which is of course ex-Stagecarriage 11. Stagecarriage 11 (MX14 FUH) by Tony Kuy, on Flickr Owned E200s 44925-7 have been earmarked for transfer to Somerset for well over a year - and this is finally due to take place during September. 44925 has recently been back at Olive Grove working alongside the loan examples, while 44926/7 have been withdrawn and re-instated at Doncaster in recent weeks. Also due to be cascaded from Doncaster are Solos 53401 (TO54 TRU), 53703 (LK05 DXR) and 53807/8/10 (WX05 RSV/Y, RTO), also bound for Somerset. In exchange, Manchester's longer Solos 53143-50 are to transfer to Doncaster from Oldham. These were originally new for the Metroshuttle routes in the City Centre before being cascaded to the Ashton and Oldham areas for minibus work there. Also, for any eagled eyed locals who don't fancy the trek down to Sheffield etc for First's fleet - following the closure of the Commerical Operation side of Rotherham's operation, all South Yorkshire repaints are now taking place at Thorntons. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - S813 FVK - 01 Sep 2017 The latest batch of Volvo B5TL MCV Evosetis have started to enter service with East Yorkshire: https://flic.kr/p/Y6KVWz The allocation of the vehicles is as follows: 804-806: Scarborough (branded for 121) 807-811: Hull (branded for 121) 812-813: Hull (branded for X46) 814: Pockington (branded for X46) 815: Bridlington 812-814 being branded for service X46 has allowed Volvo B9TLs 791-792 and Volvo B5TL 793 to be debranded. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 02 Sep 2017 Transdev Keighley's new 'Keighley Jets' Solos have started to trickle into service this week. With the exception of 154 (registration tbc) - which is a M995SR example - 155-60 (YJ17 FUW/Y, FVA/B/C/D) are M925SR models. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 06 Sep 2017 South Yorkshire A number of Stagecoach Sheffield's Ecclesfield-based Scania N230UD/Alexander Dennis Enviro400s have gained branding for the revised 2 (formerly 265) between Sheffield and Barnsley, including 15716.

Will these be older types such as ALX400s or even early B9s? Any news on these, as I wondered if the New School Year would see the completion of such moves? RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 10 Sep 2017 (01 Sep 2017, 3:34 pm)S813 FVK The latest batch of Volvo B5TL MCV Evosetis have started to enter service with East Yorkshire: The latest East Yorkshire fleet news on their website lists 815 as for use on Bridlington's 45/46 workings. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 12 Sep 2017 Transdev It has been mentioned elsewhere that five further Volvo B5TL/Wright Gemini 3s are on order for Coastliner, with a Winter delivery date. These will replace the 2011 batch of Volvo B9TLs (421-4). Rumours are circulating that they will be replacing 3608-12 on CityZap. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - S813 FVK - 13 Sep 2017 (12 Sep 2017, 9:34 pm)Kuyoyo Transdev Possibly more B5TLs on order than that if true as the 36 is being increased to every 10 minutes from next month.

Certainly is, the Harrogate Observer newspaper reports 3 additional B5TLs are due for the 36 when the frequency is increased to every 10 minutes between Leeds and Harrogate next month (no mention of any change to the Ripon to Harrogate section so looks like some Ripon journeys will end up with 5 minutes extra layover in Harrogate on the way. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Jimmi - 13 Sep 2017 (13 Sep 2017, 10:04 pm)Kuyoyo Certainly is, the Harrogate Observer newspaper reports 3 additional B5TLs are due for the 36 when the frequency is increased to every 10 minutes between Leeds and Harrogate next month (no mention of any change to the Ripon to Harrogate section so looks like some Ripon journeys will end up with 5 minutes extra layover in Harrogate on the way. I noticed that there was no mention of frequency changes on the Ripon to Harrogate section which could mean it will remain as 15 minute operation on this section, however I think it's possible that they will drop the Ripon stretch to 20 minute operation and they've just decided to keep that part quiet to the press, because let's face it, the positive publicity of the frequency increase on one half of the route could be outweighed by the frequency decrease on the other half of the route and I doubt Transdev will want as little criticism as possible, especially after all the negativity in the Harrogate area following the cuts to service 24. That's just my theory anyway, I could be way off. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - omnicity4659 - 14 Sep 2017 Arriva Yorkshire 1805, an Optare Olympus, now carries the interim Arriva livery. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 29 Sep 2017 Stagecoach Yorkshire New X10 Timetable Starting 28th October, Barnsley depot will be operating this new service, linking Barnsley to Leeds on an hourly frequency. This will be operated by Volvo B9R/Plaxton Elites 53714-6 currently used on National Express work at Chesterfield but due to be replaced shortly by new Volvo B11R(T)/Caetano Levante 2s 54401-3 (BV67 JXX/Y/Z). Stagecoach in Yorkshire 53714 (YN60 ACJ) by Tony Kuy, on Flickr Following service changes at the start of September, there's been a few major fleet movements: Enviro200s 36414/5/718/9: Rawmarsh to Ecclesfield 36985: Chesterfield to Ecclesfield Scania N230UD 5 examples have moved from Ecclesfield to Chesterfield Enviro400s 19104: Chesterfield to Ecclesfield MAN E300/ADL E300s 4 examples (including 22630/3) have moved from Ecclesfield to Rawmarsh in exchange for the previously mentioned E200s There's been a few route allocation changes as well: 57: Previously operated by Scania E400s or standard E400s when interworking with the 265 (along with the occasional MAN) and an E200 on a night (running off the SL1/SL1a), the new 57/201 interworking is now allocated E200s due to a weight-restricted Bridge in the Stocksbridge area (an age improvement for the 201 - which was previously allocated a Dart) 72 (Chesterfield): This now interworks with the 44, meaning the allocation of E200s on the 44 is now joined by the MAN E300s and the ADL E400s used on the 72 50 (Chesterfield): Now mainly Scania E400s 220/221/222: Now allocated MAN E300s (220/221 have always been allocated MAN E300s, 222 has been E200s since it was cut back to Mexborough) Due soon are 6 new ADL E200MMCs for Barnsley. Unlike previously examples of the type for this region, these are the normal midibus examples for use on 'Townlines' 1 (Barnsley Interchange to Staincross) replacing 5 year old 'classic' examples 36713-8 which are presently being repainted to remove the original branding. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 29 Sep 2017 East Yorkshire Scarborough Open Top B7TL 882/5 (152 FKH, 165 DKH) have reverted back to their original registrations of X588/94 EGK following the sale of the private plates. Similar closed top 596 (PJ02 RBV) has gone on-loan to TM Travel to cover for increased requires with the start of the new University year (as well as allowing the in-refurbished Omnidekkas to be refurbished). Full fleet movements from Sunday available here - key one sees 887 move into reserve from Scarborough (of course, the Skipper ended at the end of August). RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 30 Sep 2017 (30 Aug 2017, 7:30 am)Kuyoyo Slight update on this: An update on this: MX14FUH has been numbered 44637. YX14RZG has also now joined the growing list of loan E200s at Olive Grove The transfer of Doncaster's Solos and E200 to Somerset has been cancelled and these will now be swapped like-for-like with the Solos from Manchester. So far, 3 Solos have been swapped between the two divisions but due to the shortages with South Yorkshire, further cascading has been put on hold. Moving now to the West Yorkshire side of First, the 34 new Streetdecks due for Leeds for services 1 and 6 will introduce a new Leeds Livery of two-tone green applied in the Olympia 2 style (think the coloured route branding within the West Yorkshire area) with a different coloured relief swoop for the different corridors - these will feature a red relief. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 01 Oct 2017 (29 Sep 2017, 9:02 am)Kuyoyo Stagecoach Yorkshire The latest Yorkshire fleetcard confirms the full movements: 15689-92 are the Scania E400s transferred from Ecclesfield to Chesterfield - effectively returning home 19103 (not 19104) is the officially transferred E400 from Chesterfield to Ecclesfield 22629/30/3/4 are the examples that moved from Ecclesfield to Rawmarsh MAN ALX300s 22423/7 and 22450 have been removed from fleet at Ecclesfield - 22450 takes the place of 22441 in the reserve fleet, while 22423/7 are listed for disposal Also now listed for disposal are Pointer Darts 34574-8 from Barnsley - who have gained slightly younger examples 34722 from Chesterfield and 35227 from Rawmarsh, who have also lost E200s 37105/8 to Barnsley In additional to the E200s from Rawmarsh and Chesterfield, Ecclesfield are now home to Pointer Dart 34723 (joining sister 34724), and have lost Solos 47465-7 to reserve following the end of the SL2 |
