A few updates from recent events in West Yorkshire.
M Travel Dennis Trident LV52HHN by Mark Smith, on Flickr
M Travel, Pontefract have closed as of Saturday with their operators licence revoked by DVSA and the majority of services picked up by other operators. The interesting part is that a new operator named 'Stanley Gath' have started up to cover the commercial services and some of the school contracts, with others to be picked up by CT Plus, Poppletons, Squarepeg, Watersons. Tendered bus services 30/39 and 49 will be operated by CT Plus from tomorrow.
Stanley Gath is to be run by former Tates Travel director Graham Mallinson, who moves back into bus operations alongside the deceased M Travel's daughter who has also joined the operation. Amazing that they've managed to set up a new operator who can take over immediately.... Dare I say the fleet will consist of mainly ex M Travel vehicles ?!
Connexions Buses have added some former Stagecoach Volvo B7TL's to their fleet, namely 16921-3 (SP51AWV/W/X) to be used on service X52 between Ilkley and Harrogate. Competitive service X1c between Harrogate & Knaresborough has been withdrawn, leaving the 15 minutely X1 to compete with the Transdev offering along the same corridor.

Transdev Harrogate
One I failed to mention, a batch of 8 Volvo B7TL/Plaxton Presidents have been purchased from National Express' West Midlands and Xplore Dundee operation. The first has entered service on York Race Shuttle 197 yesterday in the form of 2720 (V69 MOA) - formerly 4069 with National Express (Photo @ Driffbus)
The rest of the batch are:
Transdev Fleet No. (Nat Exp Fleet No): Reg
2719 (4034): V34MOA
2721 (4074): V74MOA
2722 (4118): W118DOP
2723 (4119): W119DOP
2724 (4120): W412DOE
2725 (4078): V78MOA
2726 (4084): V84MOA
So far, reports on the West Yorkshire Information Service Fleet list suggests 2724 has followed B7TL/Gemini 404 into Vamooz livery (see below)

A rather unexpected addition at York Pullman is Volvo B8RLE BV17CPU from dealer stock, expected to be used on contracted service 36 which links York, Elvington & Sutton-upon-Derwent
*Exclusive* BV17CPU York Pullman Bus Company VillageLink by MTBP (Chris Nelson / Nelboy of York), on Flickr
Also added to the fleet are 15 ex Go Ahead London Volvo B7TL Gemini's for school work. They are currently in London red, although 4 of them have been smartened up with a skirt repaint and thrown out on the 197 Race shuttles recently.

The new X65 is Stagecoach's first service into Meadowhall for many a year, running daily for the school holidays reverting to weekend only from September.

New 'hopper' service launches in the Ryedale area.
The latest new Enviro 200MMCs for East Yorkshire are (from 'EYMS Enthusiasts twitter):
510: YX17 NKE
511: YX17 NKF
512: YX17 NKG
513: YX17 NKH
514: YX17 NKJ
Where they are allocated has not yet been revealed although I would suspect Scarborough as they still have 4 MPDs in service there.
888 has also been repainted into the same base livery as 887. While this may suggest it will be allocated to Scarborough as a Scarborough Skipper sharing the role with 887, it is more likely that it will be used on the Hull tour that they have recently registered.

A Family Fun Open Day is taking place on Sunday 25th June at Castleford Depot to launch the new batch of Enviro400MMCs which are in the process of delivery.
The batch of 37 is now confirmed to be allocated as followed:
Castleford depot for 'Sapphire' 163/166 (Leeds to Castleford) and 'MAX' 189 (Wakefield to Castleford and Leeds)
Heckmondwike depot for the 254/255 (Leeds to Dewsbury (254) or Halifax (255))
All are in the new fleet scheme (it's not a livery) - Castleford's Sapphire examples in the new Sapphire livery, the rest in the standard version despite having MAX interiors.
