(10 Nov 2017, 11:46 am)Kuyoyo Believe the other example is 635 (FJ03 VXC). Which means TM Travel are now home to 601/4/633-6/53 in the service fleet, with former Kinchbus 639 (FD53 WWL) in the yard being used for spares following withdrawal following an accident.

Stagecoach Yorkshire
It's time up for 4 deckers with very different histories in the next few weeks:
4 Scania N230UD/Alexander Dennis Enviro400s are in the process of transferring from West Scotland's Ardrossan depot, where they have been replaced by new Enviro400MMCs on the 11. They are due to enter service at Chesterfield, where they will release 4 deckers from their fleet. Two of the Scanias have already arrived at Chesterfield and these are 15644/5 (SF10 CDK/N) - which, of course, were two of the 5 examples loaned to Walkergate for the Olympic Period in 2012.
At Chesterfield, two will directly allow the depot's last pair of Tridents - 18125/6 (YN04 KGK/P) to be withdrawn. These were the first low-floor double deckers delivered to Chesterfield all the way back in 2004 for use on the depot's share of the 77 (Chesterfield to Worksop), with Worksop receiving 5 examples (of which today - 2 are based at Mansfield, 1 at Gainsborough and 2 moved to East Scotland a few years ago).

The other pair will release a pair of ex-Manchester Enviro400s - 19512/3 (MX09 KSF/J) - to Barnsley depot, where they will see off the pair of East Lancs-bodied Volvo B7TLs 16937/8 (YM02 CLY/Z). This pair were the first low floor double deckers new to Yorkshire Traction back in 2002 (of only 8 delivered new and 9 in total purchased by the company prior to the Stagecoach Takeover in 2005). 16937 is, of course, one of two vehicles painted in the 1950s version of Yorkshire Traction livery.

First South Yorkshire
4 Volvo B7RLEs are in the process of transferring from First Hampshire and Dorset. They are 69245-8 (YJ07 WFM/N/O/P) - which were new to First West Yorkshire's Bradford depot. 69245/8 entered service last week (69248 on Thursday, 69245 on Friday), replacing Volvo B7TL 30938 (X359 VWT) and Volvo B7L 60721 (MV02 VBO) 60721 (MV02 VBO), the later of which has been a long-term VOR parked at Volvo's Crossroads site in Brinsworth. These are reportedly the first of a number of expected cascades due this year - alongside an undisclosed number of Stop-Start Wright Streetdecks for Sheffield services 1a (High Green to Herdings via Firth Park and City Centre) and 56 (Herdings to Wybourn via City Centre).
TM Travel
A second Volvo B7L/East Lancs Nordic has arrived from Bright Bus (via Ensign) in the form of SA52DVV - presently in all-over white livery and missing a few seats on the upper deck. No fleetnumber has been allocated as yet. It is planned to use it on the 218 during the summer. It is one of three purchased from Ensign by Wellglade - the other pair are allocated to Notts & Derby.
MAN Centro 1199's withdrawal is following a RTC.
Another addition from the main Trent Barton fleet is Solo 430 (X612 ERB)[/u]

Is this a brand new service? Haven't been aware of it in the past, other than the odd one off from some of the holiday parks.

(19 Feb 2018, 9:16 pm)Deleted It operated last year and 2016. But only on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It was usually East lancs 31 last year. This year it's been registered as service 888.

First South Yorkshire
More cascades are now rocking up at Olive Grove including:
Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse Urban 69223/8 (MX56 AEN/V) from Buses of Somerset (new to First Manchester)
Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 36257-9/62 (BG12 YJO/P/R/U) from First West Yorkshire - the first of 16 examples due following the arrival of the new Streetdecks in Leeds
The B9s are comfirmed by the usual South Yorkshire source as replacing a number of the B7Ls at Olive Grove - as well as allowing the end of the lease in the hired-in E200s.
