(09 Dec 2016, 3:49 pm)Jimmi Something I neglected to mention last night about the new Transdev Yorkshire Coastliner buses is, the two examples used at the launch yesterday will enter service on Monday with the others entering service later, there might be four in service by next weekend (not confirmed!).

(09 Dec 2016, 4:30 pm)S813 FVK All 10 should be in service by the end of January and the Twitter team did confirm that they would start to enter service next week. They will also have set running boards and these journeys will be marked on the new timetable.

(11 Dec 2016, 11:24 am)Kuyoyo And as a result of the 10 B5TLs entering service, B9TL 411-7/9/20 will return to Volvo off lease (418 of course departed some time ago after being involved in a RTC), in a late change of plan - they were originally heading for Keighley, likely to replace the Presidents on the 760. There are, however, rumours that further B5TLs are to be ordered for Coastliner for 2017 to replace the remaining B9TLs - could possibly be delaying a possible upgrade of the 760 to use the newer B9TLs rather than the 8 and a half years old batch.

(28 Oct 2016, 9:59 am)Kuyoyo More on this - date of closure now confirmed for 18th February. It also seems there's to be further changes to the cascading - management are reportedly looking to move 27 of the 80 vehicle allocation to Doncaster due to the (increasingly likely) chance of staff shortages if the majority of those jobs move to Olive Grove depot.

• The 7/8 (Blackburn/Kimberworth Park) becoming the 137/138
  
• The 11/12 (East Dene Circular) becoming the 111/112
  
• The 14 (Herringthorpe Stag Lane) becomes the 114
  
• The 15 (East Herringthorpe) becomes the 115
  
• The Kimberworth Park Circulars 39/40/41/42 will become the 139/140/141/142
  

(17 Dec 2016, 11:39 am)S813 FVK In other EYMS news, the registrations for the 6 new Volvo B5TL EvoSetis and 4 new Enviro 200MMCs have been confirmed:

E200s: YY66 PGU, YY66 PGV, YY66 PGX and YY66 PGZ

Logically speaking, the B5TLs will be numbered 798 to 803 in the order listed above with the E200s being numbered 396 to 399, also in the order listed above.

(23 Dec 2016, 6:15 pm)S813 FVK B5TLs 799 (BP66 VLB), 801 (BP66 VLD) and 803 (BP66 VLF) have now arrived and are undergoing preparation for service.
