(01 Apr 2021, 7:50 pm)Rapidsnap Interestingly according to the Month Ensign News is that EYMS have acquired this Volvo B5TL / Wright Gemini 3 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/75694280@N02/26247181299) KD17TAU (Was 171-D-25062), a bit of a suprise since the other 2 (albeit with the old style front) were transferred to GNE where they already had Wright Gemini 3 bodied B5TL with the "stealth" front. I thought this would have been a better match for the GNE fleet rather than the EYMS fleet and send them a Volvo B9TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 down there to save EYMS having non-standard vehicle.I'm guessing part exchanged for one or two surplus ex National Express coaches.

As confirmed on the East Yorkshire Enthusiasts Facebook page, 5 8.9m E200MMC has been purchased from dealer stock.
They are:
516: YX21 RYP - presently in Hull paint shop
517: YX22 OGJ
518: YX22 OGK
519: YX22 OGL - also now at Hull but awaiting its turn
520: YX22 OGM
According to buslistsontheweb.co.uk they are also getting a new E400 (presumably MMC), A7 EYC. No fleet number listed for it there, though

We've got some pretty big news for our customers in Scarborough... We're building a new bus depot! After nearly two years of work from behind the scenes, we're relocoating and combining both our Barry's Lane and Westwood depots to a new location on Taylor Way in the middle of 2024.
