One missed piece - the entire allocation of Streetlite Mild-Hybrids at both Stagecoach and First Sheffield, as well as First's batch of Mild-Hybrid Streetdecks, now carry 'Buses of Sheffield' vinyl.

(14 Mar 2019, 1:09 pm)Jimmi wrote Yet York Pullman have also registered services M6 & M7 for 2019... Just a hunch that one may have the Saturday service and the other has the Sunday service, Pullman registrations are from May 4th so possibly Pullman on Saturdays and First on Sundays?

I wonder where the VDL Gemini's will end up then.

I've been down to Leeds today and actually sampled a 2016 StreetDeck on the First X6 service and also a 2017 E400MMC on the Arriva 189 service, and the StreetDeck was far superior from a passenger perspective.

The StreetDeck had no rattles and enough power to arrive to the destination on time, whereas the E400MMC was badly rattling and one of the windows on the nearside upper deck was wobbling and almost felt like it was going to pop out! My experience on the E400MMC was shocking to say the least: not what I'd expect from a relatively new bus.

Was a rumor that the Sapphire E400's will go on 268/268A but I can't confirm that as fact.

(18 Mar 2019, 10:23 pm)Malarkey wrote I know First have quite a lot of them in Leeds, just wasn't expecting Arriva to purchase them as they haven't done so since the bought some in 2016 for their services in Kent & Surrey, since then they've been purchasing ADL Products.

The Streetdecks on the X6 do have some oomph about them as I have also used the service back in August 2017 from Leeds to Bradford and I have to agree from a passenger perspective they were quite nice. 

I do however prefer the ADL Products, I have been quite impressed with the demonstrators Go North East have had in the last few months from them compared to those offered by Wrightbus, I would even argue Optare provide a better product than Wrightbus, the Versa XFE was excellent and I quite like the Metrodecker also, but overall I would still say if we talking about single deck vehicles that Mercedes offer the best product in the form of the Citaro.

So that VDL Gemini will probably go into corporate livery then.

Well if they do they'll be replacing older E400's/VDL Gemini's already on the 268's

A number of changes registered today for the end of April

Reported on 'Travel South Yorkshire' Forum - Volvo B7TLs 37147-55 (YN06 URA/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/J) and 37172-9 (SF07 FDC/D/E/G/J/K/L/M) are due from First Glasgow (Caledonia depot). This is a return 'home' for 37147-55, which were new to the now-closed Halfway depot for the old service 60 (Fulwood to City Centre - now the south western part of the 120). No details which depot yet.

(04 Nov 2018, 1:08 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Update on this - originally intended to be allocated to Doncaster depot to increase their decker allocation, they are now being allocated to Olive Grove depot. While presently being used due to a shortage of vehicles, they will eventually allow the replacement of the entire allocation of Volvo B7TL/Plaxton Presidents and a small number of B7Ls.

(30 Mar 2019, 9:20 pm)tyresmoke wrote I’d be willing to bet the 4 Gemini’s off the 268 will go to the 229 replacing the single decks which I’m fairly confident will only have been a short term measure due to a lack of availability of DDs.
The E400s I would think will be likely to replace older Max stock up here, possibly heading to Durham for the X46/48 which would displace the ALX400s to replace older Gemini’s at Blyth. That would only account for 7 or 8 though. I’ve seen mention of some going to Tiger though but that could be rubbish.

(15 Mar 2019, 9:30 am)RBZ 5459 wrote Exactly that - Pullman is Saturday, First is Sunday.

First require something smaller than a B7RLE, so suggestion is a Streetlite or E200 will transfer to York.

Wonder if they've went for the Optare MetroDecker for the remaining 3 deckers that are on order.
