Further expansion ahead - from 23rd July, Stagecoach have been awarded the contract for the tendered journeys on the 65 (Sheffield to Buxton) which have been thrown in by High Peak (the two commercial journeys leaving Buxton at 0855 and 1225 will remain operated by High Peak). These will be operated by Chesterfield and will be extended from Sheffield to Meadowhall along the same route as the X17 extension.

Derbyshire County Council have put the timetable for the extended X17 on their transport website - it starts on the 22nd July.
The breakdown is as followed:
- The Chesterfield-Sheffield short journeys Monday to Saturday are extended via Meadowhall and the M1 to Barnsley. The only weekday exception to that is the 0715 departure from Matlock which extends to Barnsley, all Matlock journeys will continue to terminate in Sheffield Interchange during the week - on Sundays journeys will operate between Matlock and Barnsley (although the first departure from Barnsley isn't until 0938 arriving in Matlock at 1204, with the last full length journey to Barnsley leaves Matlock at 1510 - giving just 3 hours in Matlock)
- The present last Monday to Saturday departure from Sheffield to Matlock will run 5 minutes later than present. A new later journey from Barnsley to Chesterfield is introduced, leaving Barnsley at 2015 and Sheffield at 2105 with arrival in Chesterfield at 2142 (the driver and vehicle on that working has a 75 minute layover in Barnsley). In contrast, the last Monday to Saturday journey between Chesterfield and Matlock is retimed to run 15 minutes earlier at 2220 (presently 2235) with the return working also likewise retimed to leave Matlock at 2250 (2305) and revised to terminate in Chesterfield Coach Station (presently this extends to Cavendish Street)
- Journeys from Sheffield to Chesterfield and Matlock will move to Stand D4 in Sheffield Interchange, presently using Stand B4

Scania L94UB 613/7/9/31/67 are in the process of transferring from Trent Barton- 619/31 are already at Halfway.
Their intended role is to replace the five remaining Centros - SB120s 796/9/800 and MAN 1198/1200.
631 is the odd one out, being a former ‘Skylink’ example. The rest were formerly on the ‘i4’.

Some of the first registrations have gone in for September changes - reports suggest major changes to the Sheffield Partnership network (one report sees the Stagecoach 52 cut back to Crookes from Hillsborough but extended from Woodhouse to Crystal Peaks).

Following on from 'Zest 503', the 'Calder Connect' and 'Holme Valley Connection', a four version of branded livery is being rolled out from Huddersfield depot - B7TL 37029 along with B7RLEs 69558/61 have been repainted into a light blue fronted version of the Olympia 2 to launch a new brand reportedly for services 370/1 (Lindley to Rawthorpe or Dalton via Huddersfield) and possibly service 372 (Almondbury - Lindley via Waterloo and Huddersfield).

Full breakdown of the changes from South Yorkshire PTE
In summary:
The partnership routes 1/1a and 52/52a are cut back in a similar way to the 120 - Stagecoach’s 1 will serve High Green at all times while First’s 1As will terminate at Chapeltown during the Monday to Saturday daytime. Likewise, and in a twist to the longstanding sharing on the service, Stagecoach’s daytime journeys on the 52 will be cut back to terminate at Crookes (First’s 52As will continue to serve Hillsborough and Wisewood), reducing the number of Stagecoach bus services to Hillsborough during the daytime from 7 an hour to just 1 (the hourly 57).
In Doncaster, a major recast sees the 57/58 changed into circulars - the 57a/c will additionally serve Doncaster Sheffield Airport replacing the X4.
Apart from the 203, all of the Yorkshire Tiger services are passing to Stagecoach (the 92 passes to Stagecoach from this Sunday the 5th August) - Barnsley will operate the 7, 23/23a, 24 and 92 (requiring 4 buses) while the 72/72a will be operated by Ecclesfield depot (2 Solos)

One I failed to mention, Chesterfield-based Pointer Dart 35114 is the first Yorkshire example to receive the revised mostly white livery

Sister 35110 (YN06 WCL) and slightly older 34722 (YN05 XOB) have been reinstated at Chesterfield from Ecclesfield reserve as the extra vehicles following the addition of the 65. As well, due to reduced vehicle requirements due to summer reductions and the 57/201/SL1/SL1a route work amendments, Ecclesfield-based E200 36415 (YN11 FFG) has been on loan back to its original home of Rawmarsh, while Ecclesfield Reserve Solo 47467 (YN07 OSE) has been loaned to Chesterfield.

A pair of Enviro200MMCs are due in the near future for York, to replace the two older MPDs on the 42 (York to Selby and Drax) due to reliability issues - they are being leased, so will remain in dealer white with 'York and Country 42' vinyl branding applied.
The first of the 3 additional Volvo B5TLs for Coastliner landed at Harrogate Starbeck depot on Friday - this is BN68XPR. These 3 will replace B9TLs 422-4, which are likely to be moved elsewhere within the group. Newer 425/6 (BF62 UXV/W) have been transferred to Rosso following the reduction in PVR at Malton.
'Harrogate Connect' Versas 211/2 (YJ12 MZU/V) have transferred to York depot alongside older former Lancashire examples 201/2/5 - despite the original plan of using B10BLEs, it seems the plans for York have changed to using the redundant Versas.

In a change of plan, Sheffield Olive Grove have today received B7RLE 69017 from Buses of Somerset. This, of course, returns it back to its previous Home Depot having been based at Olive Grove prior to the transfer to the South West. In exchange, Leeds are now receiving 69219 - which was originally the eighth intended example due for South Yorkshire from Somerset.
