Today being day one of the Sheffield changes, the majority of the fleet movements have taken place, however (thanks to 'The Captain' on the 'South Yorkshire Transport' Forum), the following changes have been made:

63038-41 remain at Rotherham pending repairs to B7RLE 69043/7 and enough of the Streetdecks for the X78 are delivered
Bradford-bound 37500-2/4/8 have moved to Olive Grove to cover until Rotherham can release more B9TLs
B10BLE 60689/96/7/700/2 are temporary retained
B7TL/Plaxton President 32216 and B7TL/Wright 37035 remain at Olive Grove for the same reason as 63038-41
Trident 33071, B7TL/Wright 37022 and B10BLE 62232/4 all remain at Olive Grove awaiting/Undergoing repairs

Additionally, there are some Route Allocation changes from today as well in terms of First:
Monday-Saturday:

So far confirmed, the 120 will swap from a mix of Volvo B7TLs and B9TLs to the E400s (the E400s were originally ordered for the 120 before being reallocated to the 51)
As a result, the 51 will revert to Volvo B9TLs, likely also to be the home for the Hertiage liveried trio

Sunday:

Everything bar the 120/272 will be Streetlite or B7RLE operated
120 should be E400 (at a guess), 272 will be any decker bar E400 (E400s are too tall for a bridge on the route)

(18 Oct 2015, 12:34 pm)Kuyoyo Further news regarding these moves is due to new regulations regarding the Sheffield Partnership requiring the most fuel efficient and low emission vehicles.
As such, Stagecoach are transferring E200s from their Rawmarsh depot to Sheffield's Holbrook depot. Ecclesfield depot meanwhile lose their Darts to Rawmarsh and Barnsley.
