24 are due to replace the 13 Tempos and 12 Volvo B5LHs. The Standard liveried ones appear to have 'MAX' interiors
Castleford's Enviro400MMCs have entered service today.
1948-59/71 are in the new standard scheme (with MAX interiors) for the 189 (Wakefield to Castleford with half hourly extention to Leeds) with 1948-58 having standard purple route branding. The 189, which was originally due to be a MAX route, was originally to be the first 'Frequent' route but the new 'brands' have seemingly been dropped.
