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.
