RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - tyresmoke - 01 May 2017 A few updates from recent events in West Yorkshire. ![]() M Travel Dennis Trident LV52HHN by Mark Smith, on Flickr M Travel, Pontefract have closed as of Saturday with their operators licence revoked by DVSA and the majority of services picked up by other operators. The interesting part is that a new operator named 'Stanley Gath' have started up to cover the commercial services and some of the school contracts, with others to be picked up by CT Plus, Poppletons, Squarepeg, Watersons. Tendered bus services 30/39 and 49 will be operated by CT Plus from tomorrow. Stanley Gath is to be run by former Tates Travel director Graham Mallinson, who moves back into bus operations alongside the deceased M Travel's daughter who has also joined the operation. Amazing that they've managed to set up a new operator who can take over immediately.... Dare I say the fleet will consist of mainly ex M Travel vehicles ?! Connexions Buses have added some former Stagecoach Volvo B7TL's to their fleet, namely 16921-3 (SP51AWV/W/X) to be used on service X52 between Ilkley and Harrogate. Competitive service X1c between Harrogate & Knaresborough has been withdrawn, leaving the 15 minutely X1 to compete with the Transdev offering along the same corridor.

RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - S813 FVK - 04 Jun 2017 The latest new Enviro 200MMCs for East Yorkshire are (from 'EYMS Enthusiasts twitter): 510: YX17 NKE 511: YX17 NKF 512: YX17 NKG 513: YX17 NKH 514: YX17 NKJ Where they are allocated has not yet been revealed although I would suspect Scarborough as they still have 4 MPDs in service there. 888 has also been repainted into the same base livery as 887. While this may suggest it will be allocated to Scarborough as a Scarborough Skipper sharing the role with 887, it is more likely that it will be used on the Hull tour that they have recently registered.

As with a certain photographer who specialises in buses at the other end of their life.......and the other end of Yorkshire!, here we have some hidden gems of info, which if someone has the time to scroll through hundreds, nay, thousands of miscellaneously displayed photos, could reveal a lot of info. In this case details of new buses for Arriva Yorkshire (main fleet) and Nottingham. Who knows, there may even be some new Stagecoach buses to be glimpsed in Scarborough.......................................
