First South Yorkshire

Following a reorganisation of management, South Yorkshire is now part of a large 'First Midlands  and Yorkshire' division managed from Leicester.
As such, there's been some reorganisation of fleet and plans for a new look for the operation.
All information (and images) below comes from the 'South Yorkshire Transport Forum'

The majority of Doncaster's fleet will be receiving the fuchsia fronted version of First's 'Olympia 2' livery (as being adopted by York minus the coloured front) of which the B7RLEs transferred from Leicester, which are amongst the first to receive the 'Doncaster's Clever Buses' branding (they are undergoing repaint beforehand however)

Sheffield will also be rebranded using a three-tone Blue livery which seems to tie in with the 'Buses for Sheffield' logos.

Arriva Yorkshire & Yorkshire Tiger

Following the end of the Leeds Bradford Airport 'Flying Tiger' services, the fleet has been spread about:

VDL SB120/Wright Cadet 621 and VDL SB200/Wright Commander 1410 are of course on long-term long to Arriva North East
Optare Versa 791-5 have transferred to the main Yorkshire fleet at Castleford depot, repainted into 'Sapphire' livery and will see use on the Leeds-Castleford services 167/168
E200MMCs 1070-75 are operating from Wakefield Belle Isle depot, currently 'on loan'

Also transferred from Yorkshire Tiger to the main Arriva Yorkshire fleet are VDL SB180/MCV Evolution 663-665 (YJ60 GFV/X/Y) and 666/667 (YJ10 DFA/C), which are now allocated to Selby depot. In exchange, Castleford's Optare Tempos 1307-12 (YJ09 EYL/M/O/P/R/S) have moved to Yorkshire Tiger at Huddersfield Waterloo depot - the Tempos were originally due to move to Selby but their poor steering lock proved to be the downfall to that plan.

The lose of the Flying Tiger work also saw the company vacate the Idle depot (Transdev have now taken over the lease) and hand back the Bradford area contracts - therefore ex-ANE Solos 2803-5/7/8/11/14/29 have transferred to Elland depot, reuniting them with sisters 3020/1 (formerly 2826/31) although at present, 2805/7/29 look to be VOR judging by the Bus Times data.

Good use of the Versas as Sapphires for routes 167/68.

Not all the Tempos have moved yet.  I even rode 1312 on route 159 yesterday.  I have seen a report that 1311 is also still at Castleford but the others have indeed moved.

There are to be a number of variations to the livery, each highlighting one of Sheffield's famous links.

Came up with a few different adaptations of the "Rider Liveries" for potential expansion of the network to connect more areas of Yorkshire together.  

Green for "West Rider" for potential services from York/Hull to Leeds/Keighley and Bradford in competition with Transdev CityZap/Yorkshire Coastliner/Aureline and First X6.
Blue for "South Rider" for potential services from York/Hull to Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham in competition with Stagecoach/First who operate in these areas.
Red for "North Rider" for potential services from York/Hull to Harrogate and Ripon in competition with Transdev York & Country services 22/23

Why do you think East Yorkshire will want to operate these sort of services in competition with the existing operators. e.g First York tried operating an X64 York to Leeds service in Spring 2009 that lasted until August 2010 in competition with Transdev, it was also the reason that CityZap was introduced. I would suggest East Yorkshire spends its resources improving its existing services in the East Riding rather than expanding in an exercise that cost lots of money and will probably do little for EY's income.

A more sensible suggestion for using the other points of the compass:
X5 Hull to Goole - West Rider (instead of East Rider)
121 Hull to Bridlington - North Rider
350 Hull to Scunthorpe - South Rider (although this would need Stagecoach's buy in as at present this service is operated jointly as the Humber Fastcat)

Rebranding as "Team Pennine" - which seems more like something you'd find on an internal memo than something you'd land on as the company name. Why not "The Pennine Bus Company" as with the rest of the Transdev operations, and refer to the staff as "Team Pennine", similar to "Team GNE". 

Livery looks bog standard Best Impressions. Funnily enough when I first saw it, I thought "ah, Stagecoach/Arriva must be rebranding the 685". Think I actually prefer the Yorkshire Tiger livery, at least there was some imagination there.

Interesting to see Arriva let Transdev stake a further foothold in the Yorkshire market

Rebranding as "Team Pennine" - which seems more like something you'd find on an internal memo than something you'd land on as the company name. Why not "The Pennine Bus Company" as with the rest of the Transdev operations, and refer to the staff as "Team Pennine", similar to "Team GNE". 

Livery looks bog standard Best Impressions. Funnily enough when I first saw it, I thought "ah, Stagecoach/Arriva must be rebranding the 685". Think I actually prefer the Yorkshire Tiger livery, at least there was some imagination there.
