The first vehicle painted into the new Sheffield livery is B9TL/Wright Gemini 2 36257 (BD12 TCO) - which has also been internally retrimmed.

Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet.
Interesting to see Arriva let Transdev stake a further foothold in the Yorkshire market

Why not "The Pennine Bus Company" as with the rest of the Transdev operations, and refer to the staff as "Team Pennine", similar to "Team GNE". 

Livery looks bog standard Best Impressions. Funnily enough when I first saw it, I thought "ah, Stagecoach/Arriva must be rebranding the 685". Think I actually prefer the Yorkshire Tiger livery, at least there was some imagination there.

Due for delivery shortly are 28 Wright Streetdecks numbered 35638-65 - unlike the previous batches, these are destined for Bradford depot alongside a number of new Wright Streetlites as part of the introduction of a Clean Air Zone in Bradford. These will introduce a new livery for the Bradford fleet - a two-tone Blue along similar lines to the Two-Tone Green used on 'Leeds City' fleet.

While Bradford gains new stock and a whole new-look livery, the fleet at Huddersfield and Halifax depots are also undergoing a minor brand refreshing - while not to the same level as Leeds and Bradford, the original-style Olympia livery is being replaced by the 'Olympia2' livery with coloured front adopted in other First fleets.

Confirmed so far are:
Leeds Streetdecks 35203 and 35510 plus B7RLE 66743
Halifax E400 33875/6 and B9TL 37500

A further 10 vehicles are on-loan - these are mainly tracking as Metrodeckers on Bus Times apart from one vehicle which is tracking as Wright Hybrid 39004. In addition, the Citaros are seeing increased usage - 11101 is tracking on 8s today while 11103-5 are making up the entire allocation on the 2 (recently, the 2 has been allocated 2 B7RLEs alongside a single Citaro).
