Formerly branded for ‘your forty three’ (43 Chesterfield to Sheffield vi Dronfield), Scania N230UD/Enviro400 15827 is the first of a pair of Chesterfield examples to gain ‘aspire’ branding for service 77.

EDIT: Photo below shows the branding, applied to 15827 as well as Worksop's 15175 (vehicle highlighted in photo)

Confirmed fleet movements following service changes at the weekend:

• Following the reduction in PVR at Rawmarsh depot with the changes to the 217/218 (now 218/218a), Pointer Darts 35233/4 have transferred to Chesterfield.
  
• As a result of the transfer of the aforementioned Darts, plus the recent reduction of Frequency of Chesterfield service 10 (Chesterfield Elder Way to Newbold), frees up enough Darts and E200s to convert the 39 (Grangewood Farm to Holme Hall Estate via Chesterfield Town Centre) to larger vehicle operation. As such, 5 Solos have been transferred from Chesterfield to Ecclesfield (2) and Barnsley (3) for the former Yorkshire Tiger services. The only examples that is confirmed to still be at Chesterfield is, of course, 'MatlockBus' branded 47325.

In a change of plan, Sheffield Olive Grove have today received B7RLE 69017 from Buses of Somerset. This, of course, returns it back to its previous Home Depot having been based at Olive Grove prior to the transfer to the South West. In exchange, Leeds are now receiving 69219 - which was originally the eighth intended example due for South Yorkshire from Somerset.

Supposedly another 96 Streetdecks due this year for Leeds to replace further Volvo/Geminis - likely this time to be the oldest B7TLs rather than more of the B9TL/Gemini 2s. Leeds fleet will more or less be Streetdecks, the Hybrid B5LHs and Streetlites by 2020 in line with the Clean Air Zone being brought in.

Chesterfield’s Gold E400MMCs appears to have entered service today, a photo having appeared on Facebook an hour ago of 11124 working a Matlock-Sheffield trip. Their entry into service will release the Gold Scanias for use on services 50/50a/50b (Chesterfield to Sheffield via New Whinnington, Eckington and Manor Top), and E400MMC 10662 back to Barnsley off loan. This also ‘in theory’ allows two MANs to be displaced, and also likely spells the end for the quarters of Scania Omnidekkas based at Chesterfield.

Reported on 'Travel South Yorkshire' Forum - Volvo B7TLs 37146-55 (YN06 UPZ, 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 37146-55, 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.

A consultation is currently running in relation to a revamp of the Rotherham Area network in February 2019.

https://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/Feb2019/

(30 Oct 2018, 9:16 pm)Tamesider As a matter of general (democratic) interest, is this consultation widely advertised in such as bus stop shelters and available to non-internet users, through paper questionnaires available in bus stations, health centres, shops, Post Offices and libraries (where they still exist!) etc?

 Also, broadening it out completely, how many local authorities or Operators up and down the country carry out such consultations? Such things ave never existed in Greater Manchester, and certainly as regards commercial services (the vast majority), being consulted about a bus service being withdrawn or re-routed is just as alien as Sainsburys consulting about withdrawing Lamb Tagliatelli or ruining Singapore Noodles by tripling the spice content - yes, both are actual examples before you ask.
