Exactly that - Pullman is Saturday, First is Sunday.

First require something smaller than a B7RLE, so suggestion is a Streetlite or E200 will transfer to York.

Quite an interesting move from Arriva Yorkshire given they've only recently completed refurbs on the VDL Gemini's for the service 110, what is even more interesting is that they've chosen the Streetdeck over the Enviro 400MMC.

I wonder where the VDL Gemini's will end up then.

Only one VDL Gemini was refurbished to Sapphire for the 110 (1546 / TWY 7) which I think was due to a PVR increase. E400's 1946 & 1947 were repainted into the new Sapphire livery having previously being unbranded Sapphire spares.

StreetDecks all the rage in Leeds! First have quite a substantial number of them now.

I've been down to Leeds today and actually sampled a 2016 StreetDeck on the First X6 service and also a 2017 E400MMC on the Arriva 189 service, and the StreetDeck was far superior from a passenger perspective.

The StreetDeck had no rattles and enough power to arrive to the destination on time, whereas the E400MMC was badly rattling and one of the windows on the nearside upper deck was wobbling and almost felt like it was going to pop out! My experience on the E400MMC was shocking to say the least: not what I'd expect from a relatively new bus.

I know First have quite a lot of them in Leeds, just wasn't expecting Arriva to purchase them as they haven't done so since the bought some in 2016 for their services in Kent & Surrey, since then they've been purchasing ADL Products.

The Streetdecks on the X6 do have some oomph about them as I have also used the service back in August 2017 from Leeds to Bradford and I have to agree from a passenger perspective they were quite nice. 

I do however prefer the ADL Products, I have been quite impressed with the demonstrators Go North East have had in the last few months from them compared to those offered by Wrightbus, I would even argue Optare provide a better product than Wrightbus, the Versa XFE was excellent and I quite like the Metrodecker also, but overall I would still say if we talking about single deck vehicles that Mercedes offer the best product in the form of the Citaro.

BIB: That is indeed the rumour - new Streetdecks onto the 110 releasing 1931-47 onto the 268 (there's no 268a now - all journeys now run Wakefield to Bradford every 15 minutes so the a was dropped), releasing E400 1900-13 and VDL/Gemini 1519-21. Rumours are that those 14 E400s will be heading north......

Was a rumor that the Sapphire E400's will go on 268/268A but I can't confirm that as fact.

BIB: That is indeed the rumour - new Streetdecks onto the 110 releasing 1931-47 onto the 268 (there's no 268a now - all journeys now run Wakefield to Bradford every 15 minutes so the a was dropped), releasing E400 1900-13 and VDL/Gemini 1519-21. Rumours are that those 14 E400s will be heading north......

(11 Oct 2018, 11:15 am)Kuyoyo First South Yorkshire

Reported on 'Travel South Yorkshire' Forum - Volvo B7TLs 37147-55 (YN06 URA/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/J) and 37172-9 (SF07 FDC/D/E/G/J/K/L/M) are due from First Glasgow (Caledonia depot). This is a return 'home' for 37147-55, which were new to the now-closed Halfway depot for the old service 60 (Fulwood to City Centre - now the south western part of the 120). No details which depot yet.

(04 Nov 2018, 1:08 pm)Kuyoyo Update on this - originally intended to be allocated to Doncaster depot to increase their decker allocation, they are now being allocated to Olive Grove depot. While presently being used due to a shortage of vehicles, they will eventually allow the replacement of the entire allocation of Volvo B7TL/Plaxton Presidents and a small number of B7Ls.

New update on regards to the First South Yorkshire fleet:

37154 has transferred to First Eastern Countries at Great Yarmouth.

Fleet changes this weekend see Volvo B7TLs 37031/151-3/5/72/3 moving from Sheffield to Doncaster in exchange for Volvo B9TLs 37228/31/57/9/61-3/494 (262/3 once repair works have been completed), with Doncaster also gained B7RLE 69222 from Olive Grove.
This move results in Doncaster's B9TL allocation dropping from 15 to just 7 - the 'Doncaster Corporation' livered 37230 plus sisters 37232-7. This also means that, bar 37230, the rest of the 'Heritage' livered fleet are now based at Olive Grove (likely means 37231 will mainly be found on former Rotherham routes).

I’d be willing to bet the 4 Gemini’s off the 268 will go to the 229 replacing the single decks which I’m fairly confident will only have been a short term measure due to a lack of availability of DDs.
The E400s I would think will be likely to replace older Max stock up here, possibly heading to Durham for the X46/48 which would displace the ALX400s to replace older Gemini’s at Blyth. That would only account for 7 or 8 though. I’ve seen mention of some going to Tiger though but that could be rubbish.

It would be easier sending the E400s to Jesmond for the 306...

(15 Mar 2019, 9:30 am)RBZ 5459 Exactly that - Pullman is Saturday, First is Sunday.

First require something smaller than a B7RLE, so suggestion is a Streetlite or E200 will transfer to York.

BIB: seems the second one is right but it’s not one from within First - tweets by Stuart Fillingham (the Network Manager for First West Yorkshire) confirm the arrival of dealer stock YX65RHO. It has been used on route trials for the new Hospital Park and Ride Service starting at the end of April.

YX65RHK also delivered for use on the hospital park and ride service, one will indeed be allocated to Moorsbus M6/M7 on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
