A further 5 are to be done. Hunslet Park Paintshop are now in the process of doing 2 further 'Heritage' repaints - Bradford's 37732 (YJ09 OCD) and a Huddersfield vehicle.

(From 'South Yorkshire Transport' Forum) RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - callum2015 - 03 Nov 2015 MX07 BUJ (37300) Is now at hunslet to be repainted into Huddersfield`s Heritage livery RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - S813 FVK - 10 Nov 2015 The latest fleet news for EYMS reveal that ex-demonstrator Volvo B5TLs BF63 HDC and BX14 SYT will be both joining the fleet with the fleet numbers 796 and 797 respectively. It will be interesting to see whether 796 will retain its Lothian display or receive the more standard display used by most other operators - it depends on how easy they are to change i guess. It also states that they are due an ex-Demo Enviro 400MMC numbered 795. No registration has been given but as i have mentioned previously, it would be logical to assume that this will be YY64 GWX considering that they already have YX64 VOO which is the only other E400MMC former demonstrator that i can think of. There is not much more to note other than the E200 8.9m which is confirmed to be arriving soon plus the order for two Volvo B8RLE/MCVs on order and will gain the fleet numbers 386 and 387 - if they are allocated to Hull (which i think is likely given that they seem to want to keep the Hull based fleet modern) it would be a great thing with them operating B7RLE/MCVs out of that depot too.
