They are set to be allocated to set boards - mostly operating in Rotherham, however 44939 escaped onto the 96 on Monday

Slight update on this:
YX64 TXW became 44942 and replaced 44938, which was rejected. 44940/1 are now at Doncaster and have been joined by longer sisters YY16 YJT and MX14 FUH - which is of course ex-Stagecarriage 11.

Stagecarriage 11 (MX14 FUH) by Tony Kuy, on FlickrOwned E200s 44925-7 have been earmarked for transfer to Somerset for well over a year - and this is finally due to take place during September. 44925 has recently been back at Olive Grove working alongside the loan examples, while 44926/7 have been withdrawn and re-instated at Doncaster in recent weeks. Also due to be cascaded from Doncaster are Solos 53401 (TO54 TRU), 53703 (LK05 DXR) and 53807/8/10 (WX05 RSV/Y, RTO), also bound for Somerset. In exchange, Manchester's longer Solos 53143-50 are to transfer to Doncaster from Oldham. These were originally new for the Metroshuttle routes in the City Centre before being cascaded to the Ashton and Oldham areas for minibus work there.
Also, for any eagled eyed locals who don't fancy the trek down to Sheffield etc for First's fleet - following the closure of the Commerical Operation side of Rotherham's operation, all South Yorkshire repaints are now taking place at Thorntons.
