Short term Stagecoach are taking on some of the services in Barnsley
Arriva are also taking on tates share of 147 & 443 Short term as well
RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations
probably not linked to the closure,but the fact it came on the same day is a bit of double blow.
Tates are named on the list of 92 employers not paying some workers Minimum Wage (They are Number 63 on the list)

Think NEB maybe suffering from a few minor technical issues with its current operating system, as I am 100% positive it had Bazzas name on that above post, and not Kuyoyos, if this is found not to be the case then Kuyoyo I would advise you get yaself to Specsavers, as you've may of had an absolute clanger

Ok then, they hadn't been noted on here.
Should be noted as well that W80EYM are now on B9TL 720 (YX07 HKG). W70EYM is on one of the company's support vehicles.
RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations
Following the collapse of Tates Travel last week, Arriva Yorkshire have taken on all of service 485 Wakefield - South Elmsall. This adds an extra 2 boards into the daytime amount at Wakefield depot. There are also various tendered early, evening and Sunday services that fits around existing daytime services. To help provide resources for this, the 3 boards on MAX service 126/127 (my old run at Dewsbury!) have been transferred from Wakefield to Dewsbury along with MAX Geminis 1516, 1517 and 1518. Added to the fleet at Wakefield are three vehicles on long term loan from the Arriva Bus & Coach dealer stock...

CityZap timetable is now online on its own dedicated website.
http://www.cityzap.co.uk/
http://www.cityzap.co.uk/timetable.pdf
As for the ex-36 Geminis, WYIS now lists 3601-7 for transfer to Lancashire United for the X41 (Blackburn-Manchester) replacing slightly newer sisters ex-Coastliner and Burnley Witch Way which may make their way to Keighley. 3608-12 are the examples destined for the 'CityZap' service.
In other news, Transdev York have introduced a new 'TadFaster' service between York and Tadcaster, initially funded by North Yorkshire County Council for the first 12 weeks and giving the east side of Tadcaster a bus service following the bridge collaspe during the Winter Storms. As such, Coastliner B10BLE 1015 (YD02 UMX) has moved back to York from Malton to operate the service.

https://twitter.com/philstockley/status/...6144286721
And further details thanks to Phil Stockley:
- All 6 have already been converted to single door prior to delivery
- YN56FDV and 2 others will be entering service more-or-less upon completion of delivery checks in as-delivery condition due to a decker shortage following the withdrawl of a number of Olympians due to chassis corrosion (a common fault with Volvo Olympians)
- The other 3 will be repainted prior to entering service (and possibly also treated to a re-trim)
- These 3 will then swap with the other 3 to allow them to be repainted
- Solo SR 506-8 and Solos 1194/1202 are to be branded for 'Line 6' very shortly
