New X10 Timetable

Starting 28th October, Barnsley depot will be operating this new service, linking Barnsley to Leeds on an hourly frequency. This will be operated by Volvo B9R/Plaxton Elites 53714-6 currently used on National Express work at Chesterfield but due to be replaced shortly by new Volvo B11R(T)/Caetano Levante 2s 54401-3 (BV67 JXX/Y/Z).

'Line 30' is being increased to every 20 minutes from Monday

As such, there's to be a PVR increase - the additional vehicles are due to be revealed later this morning at Crystal Peaks.

(10 Nov 2017, 10:54 am)Jimmi wrote These vehicles are seemingly ex Trent Barton Scania L94UB / Wright Solar's, 633 / FJ03VXA being the vehicle in Crystal Peaks right now.

(10 Nov 2017, 11:46 am)Kuyoyo wrote Believe the other example is 635 (FJ03 VXC). Which means TM Travel are now home to 601/4/633-6/53 in the service fleet, with former Kinchbus 639 (FD53 WWL) in the yard being used for spares following withdrawal following an accident.

NYCC are reporting Shoreline are running a service between Scarborough and Flamingoland.

Is this a brand new service? Haven't been aware of it in the past, other than the odd one off from some of the holiday parks.

(19 Feb 2018, 9:16 pm)Deleted wrote It operated last year and 2016. But only on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It was usually East lancs 31 last year. This year it's been registered as service 888.

More cascades are now rocking up at Olive Grove including:

Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse Urban 69223/8 (MX56 AEN/V) from Buses of Somerset (new to First Manchester)
Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 36257-9/62 (BG12 YJO/P/R/U) from First West Manchester - the first of 16 examples due following the arrival of the new Streetdecks in Leeds

The B9s are comfirmed by the usual South Yorkshire source as replacing a number of the B7Ls at Olive Grove - as well as allowing the end of the lease in the hired-in E200s.

(25 Feb 2018, 4:38 pm)Tamesider wrote Presumably, 36257 etc should read from First West *Yorkshire*. Also, do we have details of the new Steeetdecks at Leeds? Apart from the pic of 35266 above, I haven't seen any details on any site. Is the full batch 35265-80?

(25 Feb 2018, 5:46 pm)Kuyoyo wrote The full batch is 35261-94.

(25 Feb 2018, 8:00 pm)Kuyoyo wrote First South Yorkshire

From the usual source ('The Captain' over on 'Travel South Yorkshire' forum), Sheffield Olive Grove are due the following in the next few months:

16 Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2s from Leeds (6 already arrived - 36257-62)
8 Euro3-engined Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse Urbans (2 of which have already arrived)
4 Euro4-engined Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse Urbans which have already arrived and entered service (69245-8)
Around 24 new Wright Streetdecks for 1a/56 (number tbc)

These should all see the number of B7Ls reduced as well as seeing the loaned E200s returned.

5 of the B7RLEs due to transfer from Buses of Somerset have so far landed and these are 69222/3/6-8 (MX56 AEM/N/T/U/V) - 69227 has entered service in a plain white base livery.7

(12 Mar 2018, 9:02 pm)Tamesider wrote Are you sure 69222 is amongst them? This was reported as transferring to Bolton a few months back, along with 69220/4/5 although I don't yhink any of these have been noted in service.

(12 Mar 2018, 10:42 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Yes, the quote source over on the TSY Forum works at Olive Grove depot.

All sources I can find regarding the examples that returned to Manchester do not mention 69222 and photographic evidence on Flickr show it to have been parked up at Taunton a few weeks ago pending transfer.
