It seems Yorkshire are having trouble with consistency regarding the Frequenta brand too. Its only a minor thing though but given its for the same services, you'd have thought the livery would be the same on each vehicle type!

Some interesting changes have been posted on 'South Yorkshire Transport' Forum starting in January

I also went to the launch of the new Yorkshire Coastliner's today. Got to say, they are the business. Seats upstairs are amazingly comfortable and the interior (and exterior) is extremely smart.
I've made a Flickr album where you can have a look at the interior and exterior: https://flic.kr/s/aHskQ8DrEC
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.

902 (YX11 DVJ) is the second of East Yorkshire's E400s to be converted from Hybrid to full diesel operation. However, unlike the first example 904 (YX11 DVL), it has been repainted into the company's revised livery:

The Boxing Day operation in South Yorkshire saw a slight glimpse into the future - with First's Olive Grove depot operating the X1, using B9TLs
