26020-3 (YX65 PZV/W/Y/Z) are based at Barnsley for the 11 (Barnsley-Athersley North) replacing MAN 18.240/Alexander Dennis ALX300 22446-9 (YN07 KSO/U/RO/SX) which have been used and branded for the route since new. 26020-2 wear the same 'Townlines' branding as the MANs while previously shown 26023 is unbranded.

(20 Jan 2016, 9:02 pm)Kuyoyo wrote It doesn't appear to be in service - it looks to be on driver familiarisation.

(20 Jan 2016, 9:03 pm)S813 FVK wrote I can see more indications that it is in service than on driver familiarisation but ok.

(20 Jan 2016, 9:08 pm)Kuyoyo wrote The interior lights would be on for it to be in service. Nobody but the driver being on board is another big give-away. That and this tweet:

Plus, Transdev aren't one to put buses on the road without any fleetnames, numbers or branding.

(08 Jan 2016, 10:57 pm)Kuyoyo wrote New details from the same source:

• Keighley's former Coastliner B7RLE 451-6 are listed as due a refurbishment for the 66 (Keighley-Skipton) along with 1843
  

(27 Jan 2016, 11:41 pm)Kuyoyo wrote 451-6/1843 have now been confirmed by Alex Hornaby as for the 762 (Keighley-Ilkley/Harrogate) but will initially be used on the 66. The 66 is instead due 6 new Optare Versas, along with 4 Solos for the town network.

Also due in terms of new vehicles for the Yorkshire half of Transdev Blazefield are 11 new deckers for Coastliner, along with the already delivered 14 B5TLs for Harrogate. The rest of the 50 vehicle order is for Lancashire.

(02 Feb 2016, 7:26 am)S813 FVK wrote They haven't done in the past. Just looks like, from the summer timetable onwards, the routes will now be split, much like Arriva's X93 last year.

• As per the previous network when it was services 47/48 (Shiregreen-City-Herdings), service 1a (High Green-City-Herdings) interworks at Herdings with the 56 (Wybourn-City-Herdings)
  
• As it is only runs between Hillsborough and Meadowhall, the 38 interworks at all times at one end of the route - during the Monday to Saturday daytime hours it interworks at Hillsborough with the 97/98 (Totley or Totley Brook-City-Hillsborough). On Sundays, it interworks at Meadowhall with the 18 (City-Norton Lees-Gleadless Townsend-Meadowhall). Evening interworking is quite random, some 38s work onto 18s at Meadowhall and off 97/98 in Hillsborough while some 38s start off 18s at Meadowhall.
  
• First's Sunday trips on the 83 (Ecclesfield-City-Bents Green) interworks with the 20 (Hemsworth-City-Ecclesfield). Stagecoach's Sunday 83s (they only run the 83 evening/Sunday) run light to the depot at Ecclesfield to layover
  
• One 271/272 Weekday board works onto 81/82 in Dore at 1439. Monday to Saturday Evening 272s work off an 81/82 board arriving into the City from Millhouses at 2009 (light from Angel Street to the Interchange)First South Yorkshire 47483 (SN64 CNU) by Tony Kuy, on Flickr
  
• Rotherham's evening turns on the 69 (Rotherham-Tinsley-Sheffield) and X5 (Sheffield-Dinnington) are now worked by Streetdecks rather than Streetlites, likewise Olive Grove now use B9TLs on their turns rather than Streetlites. Sunday turns are now mostly Rotherham operated using their 4 StreetlitesFirst South Yorkshire 35121 (SM65 EFH) by Tony Kuy, on Flickr
  
• One of the evening turns on the 4a (City-Millhouses Tesco) and 6a (City-Manor Top) works off the peak turn on the 29 (Sheffield-Penistone) so can throw up random Solos or even a MAN Centro as per FridayTM Travel 1200 (YN08 JWE) by Tony Kuy, on Flickr
  
• The 6 (Darnell-City-Millhouses Tesco) has a 31 minutes layover at Millhouses every trip - interestingly, prior to the network recast, the old version of the 6 also had a long layover in the Interchange following the lost of the 31/31a (City-Hillsborough) by TM
