RE: Leven Valley
SN51UCR is not quite finished. It needs number 73 and St Michael adding. The upper coving strapline which is usually 'Somewhere's Great little Buses' or more recently 'Railless Traction-Flexible, Reliable and Economic' are being reviewed. AXG675

RE: Leven Valley
Ex-Lothian Dart 191 has now been repainted into the new corporate livery - it is seen on the photograph shared by Ian Wilson on the photograph below:

Notice the application of fleetnumbers on this example (although it appears to lack front fleetnames).
RE: Leven Valley
The original front decal did not fit 191. A better sized decal is being made. It is vital since we lost our beloved 'yellowness' to have the Leven clear for our customers. 178 is going into paint next week and will be 178 rather than Lothians last minute change to 48.
RE: Leven Valley
The first ex-Compass Royston vehicle to receive the new-style Leven Valley fleetnames is B7RLE NX59BYC. At present, it only has them on the offside and rear

RE: Leven Valley
In a change to the original plan, mainly due to a vehicle shortage, MPD W794VMV has entered the paint shop at Bowesfield Lane yesterday instead of the intended Y178CFS. Due to the repaint, it is expected to emerged with a new name, possibly 'Avalon', instead of Thunderbird One.

Information is thanks, as ever, to Richard Smiles.

Further news from Richard arrived just now (I'll quote his email):

Richard Smiles wroteDear All,

Further to my email yesterday with regards to Leven Valley’s Thunderbird One (W794VMV), Paul Thompson has now confirmed it is to be renamed Avalon when it comes out of the Paint Shop.

It was observed late last week (Thursday or Friday) leaning over quite badly & upon inspection it was discovered one of the springs had gone on the Suspension, this has been repaired, but it was decided while off the road to get it in for repaint.

I understand it is hoped the repaint will be completed by about Wednesday next week, but I am not sure how quickly it will return to service after that though, as I don’t know if perhaps its PSV/MOT is about due. ?
Or just due for its regular service.

Kindest & Sincerest Regards,
Richard

It did re-enter service mid morning after a fault with its indicators was resolved, replacing YM52TOU on the 1110 45

RE: Leven Valley
Richard Smiles has circulated information regarding recent and upcoming Leven Valley changes. These are outlined below:

1. Providing there are no major vehicle shortages ex Lothian Dart 178 (Y178CFS) has again been “Pencilled In“ to go in for repaint this coming week. It may be the last repaint for a little while, given forthcoming cuts to services at the end of March grow ever closer. In addition 178 is the last vehicle that was NOT really in any form of Leven Livery, the others 73, 94 & 191 having now been painted into the New scheme.

2. It has recently materialised that Leven’s final two surviving Enviro 200s (25 & 91), which were initially leased by Leven when first acquired, have now been purchased outright by Leven’s Partner Kevin Procter, so will therefore be remaining with the Leven Valley Fleet for the foreseeable future. In addition, it has been suggested that these two vehicles are likely to be repainted into Leven’s New Overall White Livery during this Summer (2014).

3. It is understood that the Dales & District Arm of Procter’s have lost around 7 buses worth of work, as a consequence of forthcoming Cuts to North Yorkshire County Council Services. As a result of this, it is believed that the two/three Optare Solo’s currently being used within the Leven Operations (YM52TOU) & (T14CRT) plus ? are likely to be exchanged for Dennis Dart MPDs.

As always, thanks to Richard for providing the information.

As always, thanks to Richard for providing the information.

At present, YM52TOU is the regular Solo appearing on Leven Valley work - T14CRT has mainly been used on Compass Royston work. The other 3 Solos with the merger company (W87NDW, MW52PYX and GX55LNF) have only been used on Compass Royston work. I would say, MW52PYX would be the most likely to move to Dales & District as it moved to Compass Royston from that operation. There's also Esk Valley to add into the equation as they are also looking like losing the majority of their service work (at present, they'll be left with one bus worth of work in Scarborough on the 115, so will free up 2/3s of their fleet)

Additional information that can be added if the route information from the 1st April (the date of the merger taking full affect on routes):
18 Middlesbrough-Marton-Coulby Newham-Hemlington-Stainton-Middlesbrough
19 Middlesbrough - Stainton - Hemlington - Coulby Newham - Marton - Middlesbrough
45 Middlesbrough - Billingham - Wolviston Court
66 Stockton - Teesside Park
436 Middlesbrough - Stockton - Billingham
455/456 Bankfields - Eston - Middlesbrough( - Marton - Nunthorpe) (Bracket section weekdays only)

606 Middlesbrough – Hemlington – Coulby Newham – Marton – Middlesbrough
607 Middlesbrough – Hemlington – Coulby Newham – Saltersgill – Middlesbrough

They also will still run the 505/506 (Elton Park Circular) and 577 (Stockton - Preston-on-Tees - Eaglescliffe Kingsmead - Yarm - Yarm Station - Yarm Willey Flatts - Yarm) commercially however service numbers are not yet know.

In addition 178 is the last vehicle that was NOT really in any form of Leven Livery, the others 73, 94 & 191 having now been painted into the New scheme.

2. It has recently materialised that Leven’s final two surviving Enviro 200s (25 & 91), which were initially leased by Leven when first acquired, have now been purchased outright by Leven’s Partner Kevin Procter, so will therefore be remaining with the Leven Valley Fleet for the foreseeable future. In addition, it has been suggested that these two vehicles are likely to be repainted into Leven’s New Overall White Livery during this Summer (2014).

3. It is understood that the Dales & District Arm of Procter’s have lost around 7 buses worth of work, as a consequence of forthcoming Cuts to North Yorkshire County Council Services. As a result of this, it is believed that the two/three Optare Solo’s currently being used within the Leven Operations (YM52TOU) & (T14CRT) plus ? are likely to be exchanged for Dennis Dart MPDs.

As always, thanks to Richard for providing the information.

Let's not forget Leven/Compass are losing 4 vehicles and Esk Valley look set to lose at least one vehicle worth of work... Ultimately this will see a few transfers around the group and the oldest vehicles being sold.

(23 Feb 2014, 2:12 pm)Kuyoyo wrote At present, YM52TOU is the regular Solo appearing on Leven Valley work - T14CRT has mainly been used on Compass Royston work. The other 3 Solos with the merger company (W87NDW, MW52PYX and GX55LNF) have only been used on Compass Royston work. I would say, MW52PYX would be the most likely to move to Dales & District as it moved to Compass Royston from that operation. There's also Esk Valley to add into the equation as they are also looking like losing the majority of their service work (at present, they'll be left with one bus worth of work in Scarborough on the 115, so will free up 2/3s of their fleet)

Additional information that can be added if the route information from the 1st April (the date of the merger taking full affect on routes):
18 Middlesbrough-Marton-Coulby Newham-Hemlington-Stainton-Middlesbrough
19 Middlesbrough - Stainton - Hemlington - Coulby Newham - Marton - Middlesbrough
45 Middlesbrough - Billingham - Wolviston Court
66 Stockton - Teesside Park
436 Middlesbrough - Stockton - Billingham
455/456 Bankfields - Eston - Middlesbrough( - Marton - Nunthorpe) (Bracket section weekdays only)
492 Middlesbrough - South Bank - Eston – Normanby Flatts Lane (Bexley Drive End)
603 Middlesbrough – Coulby Newham– Hemlington – Middlesbrough (Sunday Morning)
604 Middlesbrough – Hemlington – Coulby Newham – Middlesbrough (Sunday Morning)
605 Middlesbrough – Marton – Coulby Newham – Hemlington – Middlesbrough
606 Middlesbrough – Hemlington – Coulby Newham – Marton – Middlesbrough
607 Middlesbrough – Hemlington – Coulby Newham – Saltersgill – Middlesbrough

They also will still run the 505/506 (Elton Park Circular) and 577 (Stockton - Preston-on-Tees - Eaglescliffe Kingsmead - Yarm - Yarm Station - Yarm Willey Flatts - Yarm) commercially however service numbers are not yet know.

BIB: since posting this on Sunday, it was confirmed yesterday that Esk Valley have now lost all their local service work (the 115 has been regained by EYMS' Scarborough & District operation) which frees up their 2 MPDs and a Solo for transfer - I would be as bold to suggest those 2 MPDs (VU02TPX and SN06BRV) will likely end up with Leven Valley and the Solo joins the main Dales & District fleet.

Further to my posting earlier this week, the repaint of Leven Valley Dart 178 (Y178CFS) is now complete & it is expected to return to service tomorrow.

Good to hear! Hopefully this will see the end of them using Vario S592RGA? I had that again this morning on the 505/506!
Solo YM52TOU was on the 588/589 for Compass though with a Leven blind still in it, it displayed no destination! I'm told W365ABD managed a trip on 588 yesterday, though I went to photo it on the return leg and it had been swapped for S295UAL!

RE: Leven Valley
178 back out today, supposed to work the 1140 18 after arriving off the 0940 trip, it instead ended up getting a longer break before going back out on the 1255 19.
