Transdev to run Leeds Bradford Airport network
(20 Apr 2020, 12:33 am)Michael Have any of the 21 electric Metrodecker EV double-deckers to arrived at York yet for the Park and Ride services?I know that at least 1 of them have been built and was doing driver training I believe. I’ll need to find the photo. They will be replacing around 9/15 Citaro artics with the rest remaining for the 2(?) as there’s a low bridge on the route. Could be also be replacing some Eclipses urbans (08 Regs).
What are they replacing?

Plan is indeed for the P&R work to be entirely Electric Optares bar the 2 which needs high-capacity vehicles but due to the low bridge on Leeman Road, it can't be allocated deckers.
Interestingly, 69364 the only repainted Urban so far ex-Park & Ride (although it has been running with the Yellow York Bus advert for a while) received the original style Olympia livery rather than the revised version now used in York. It's said that some of the Urbans are off to South Yorkshire for use in Sheffield.
EDIT: Whoops, it appears 69370 has also been repainted - into the revised 'York' Olympia 2 livery.

Transdev Yorkshire
A few vehicles have been named:
Harrogate have named Volvo B5TL 3640 'Ray Stenning' following his 70th birthday a few days ago - he is of course the head honcho of Best Impressions and this is one of at least 10 vehicles across the country now named after him
Keighley, meanwhile, have named their fleet liveried Versa 240 after the hero of the hour, Captain Tom Moore - and included suitable branding both externally and internally to celebrate his outstanding fundraising efforts. Keighley is his town of birth
Interlinked with that (as he will be video-linked guest of honour later today), a Harrogate B7RLE has been branded up to celebrate the outstanding NHS workers as 'Harrogate Heroes' and will be making its debut on the road today as the Nightingale Hospital in Harrogate opens. Each of Transdev's fleets will be gaining an example of this for their local town.
First South Yorkshire
While the fleet is reduced due to Covid-19, E400 33657, 33710/2/3/8 have arrived from Greater Manchester following the end of their loan to Diamond North West with the sale of Bolton depot. Unlike the last batch transferred across, these are now parked in reserve at Doncaster depot. They will not be used until a PVR increase as and when things start to return to normal. They will replaced 5 Volvo B7TL/ALX400s for disposal.
