Hello. Does anybody have any information which can lead to newly acquired 645 in the East Yorkshire fleet as the bus doesnt have a profile on the 'fleet list' page as yet but does however get a mention on the August bus news page.
Also, a shame to see East Yorkshire go Excel free. Last few have been withdrawn and replaced with the newer buses.

Just realised I didn't see any in Scarborough on Friday! Knew the Prismas had gone.

Its a shame. I loved getting them on the Old Park and Ride before the 2 new sites were built although i was treat to the same Excel there and back on the 165 once. Great vehicles and look stunning.

Query over. I didnt realise it was a heritage vehicle. I can therefore assume that this is the reason why ALM 65B has been sold.

49909 YJ14BJK
49910 YJ14BJO
49911 YJ14BJU
49912 YJ14BJV
However, considering the closeness to the end of August and the arrival of the 64 registrations, expect them to be re-registered.

Something that doesn't get mentioned much is the North Yorkshire Dales...
Kirkby Lonsdale Coaches have taken on former Pennine service 580 (Skipton - Settle) commercially as an extension of their 581 service from Kirkby Lonsdale. A new timetable can be found on the Dalesbus website here
A new addition to service this new route is former Trent Barton Optare Excel Y251DRC
Other increases have been implemented on NYCC's own services too, 14 (Skipton-Embsay) now runs hourly all day, while 211 (Skipton-Malham) now runs every weekday with the introduction of services on Tue/Thu. Service 58 (Skipton-Giggleswick) is replaced by KLC service 580 as mentioned above.
Meanwhile, in South Yorkshire...
A number of service changes were implemented in the Rotherham area on 19th July, as a result of the new "Rotherham Bus Partnership" - A few notable changes as a result of this:
Powells gained a new service 4 between Bramley, Rotherham and Meadowhall
First service 22 between Rotherham and Barnsley now runs every 15 minutes but has been extended half hourly from Rotherham to Meadowhall, and these journeys are numbered as 22M
TM Travel service 31 (Rotherham-Meadowhall) was doubled to half hourly, and now also has 2 branded buses - 1193/4 (YJ57EHB/EHC) have been repainted out of "Travel South Yorkshire" livery into a new yellow Line 31 livery - as seen here on YJ57EHC
TM Travel service 271 (Crystal Peaks - Worksop) has been culled and replaced with a 2-hourly (in each direction) loop within South Yorkshire operated as service 26/26A
TM Travel service A1 (Sheffield - Rotherham) has been mostly cut, now running between Meadowhall and Waverley only, the rest has been replaced by various services, First services 71 (Rotherham - Meadowhall via Brinsworth & Sheffield Business Park) and 72 (Sheffield - Rotherham via Catcliffe & Brinsworth)

Geldards are running a special x28 to Leeds Festival.
Saw a couple of Spectras carrying decent loads earlier.
