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.

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.
New update on regards to the First South Yorkshire fleet:
37154 has transferred to First Eastern Countries at Great Yarmouth.
Fleet changes this weekend see Volvo B7TLs 37031/151-3/5/72/3 moving from Sheffield to Doncaster in exchange for Volvo B9TLs 37228/31/57/9/61-3/494 (262/3 once repair works have been completed), with Doncaster also gained B7RLE 69222 from Olive Grove.
This move results in Doncaster's B9TL allocation dropping from 15 to just 7 - the 'Doncaster Corporation' livered 37230 plus sisters 37232-7. This also means that, bar 37230, the rest of the 'Heritage' livered fleet are now based at Olive Grove (likely means 37231 will mainly be found on former Rotherham routes).
