RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Malarkey - 19 Nov 2016 Yorkshire Coastliner Volvo B5TL https://www.flickr.com/photos/nsf323alistair/30967450932/in/feed RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - S813 FVK - 19 Nov 2016 It seems Yorkshire are having trouble with consistency regarding the Frequenta brand too. Its only a minor thing though but given its for the same services, you'd have thought the livery would be the same on each vehicle type!

Registrations confirmed are BT66MVO and BT66MVR - the later being 3633.

RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - S813 FVK - 08 Dec 2016 It was the Coastliner launch event today in York with 3631 (BT66 MVO) attending: https://www.flickr.com/photos/128789124@N06/31504943535/in/feed RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - GuyParkRoyal - 08 Dec 2016 (08 Dec 2016, 3:55 pm)S813 FVK It was the Coastliner launch event today in York with 3631 (BT66 MVO) attending: 3632 was also at York Minster along with 3631. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Jimmi - 08 Dec 2016 I also went to the launch of the new Yorkshire Coastliner's today. Got to say, they are the business. Seats upstairs are amazingly comfortable and the interior (and exterior) is extremely smart. I've made a Flickr album where you can have a look at the interior and exterior: https://flic.kr/s/aHskQ8DrEC Yorkshire Bus Operations - Jimmi - 09 Dec 2016 Something I neglected to mention last night about the new Transdev Yorkshire Coastliner buses is, the two examples used at the launch yesterday will enter service on Monday with the others entering service later, there might be four in service by next weekend (not confirmed!).

All 10 should be in service by the end of January and the Twitter team did confirm that they would start to enter service next week. They will also have set running boards and these journeys will be marked on the new timetable.

They will also have set running boards and these journeys will be marked on the new timetable. And as a result of the 10 B5TLs entering service, B9TL 411-7/9/20 will return to Volvo off lease (418 of course departed some time ago after being involved in a RTC), in a late change of plan - they were originally heading for Keighley, likely to replace the Presidents on the 760. There are, however, rumours that further B5TLs are to be ordered for Coastliner for 2017 to replace the remaining B9TLs - could possibly be delaying a possible upgrade of the 760 to use the newer B9TLs rather than the 8 and a half years old batch.

Yes i've read that too. Better to have a consistent spec on the Coastliner service, something that would be welcomed by up here on the Red Kite services. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 12 Dec 2016 (28 Oct 2016, 9:59 am)Kuyoyo More on this - date of closure now confirmed for 18th February. It also seems there's to be further changes to the cascading - management are reportedly looking to move 27 of the 80 vehicle allocation to Doncaster due to the (increasingly likely) chance of staff shortages if the majority of those jobs move to Olive Grove depot. More details are now coming out: Doncaster depot will regain operation of 6 boards on the X78 (Sheffield-Rotherham-Doncaster) from 2nd January. The amount and type of vehicle moving from Rotherham is not yet know As part of changes in Rotherham in late January, a number of Rotherham town services will be returning to their original PTE-era service numbers ahead of the depot closure and operation passing to Olive Grove depot (as there will not be a dedicated fleet for the Rotherham services upon operation passing to Olive Grove). These include:

Further to this, 3 of the 4 E200MMCs have been spotted at the Plaxton factory in Scarborough. The registrations of the 3, as can be seen in the photograph, are YY66 PGV/U/X. https://www.flickr.com/photos/59080624@N06/30968377244/in/photostream/ Based on their length, their fleet numbers are now likely to be 506 to 509, following on from the second hand 12 reg and new 65 reg E200s acquired last year (PGU - 506, PGV - 507 etc) All 4, or some, of the E200MMCs are looking like they will be based at the company's Scarborough depot replacing some of the MPDs.
