1964 YX17 NKO Sapphire Livery
24 are due to replace the 13 Tempos and 12 Volvo B5LHs. The Standard liveried ones appear to have 'MAX' interiors
Castleford's Enviro400MMCs have entered service today.
1948-59/71 are in the new standard scheme (with MAX interiors) for the 189 (Wakefield to Castleford with half hourly extention to Leeds) with 1948-58 having standard purple route branding. The 189, which was originally due to be a MAX route, was originally to be the first 'Frequent' route but the new 'brands' have seemingly been dropped.

RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Dan - 27 Jun 2017
The Volvo B5LHs are going to lead to the withdrawal of the Spectras from the fleet, aren't they?
If so, does this mean that they are still currently in service?

Yes, the B5PHs - along with Geminis from Hekmondwike once their E400MMCs enter service - will allow for the replacement of the Spectras. However, I believe a number may be passing to Tiger

(07 Jun 2017, 6:18 pm)Kuyoyo The first of Yorkshire Tiger's new Enviro200MMCs for 'Flying Tiger' 737/747 (Leeds Bradford Airport to Bradford and Harrogate) has been spotted on delivery, a few days ago but they have only just put the photo up for reason explained in the caption

The first Versa has been repainted into the new livery with a couple of other amendments to its appearance too:

(04 Jun 2017, 3:16 pm)S813 FVK 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.
E200MMC allocation as reported by SK Media:
510/1: Scarborough
512: Hornsea
513/4: Hull
888 is now confirmed as the vehicle for 'Hull Explorer' - the open top tour of Hull.
RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 28 Jun 2017
First South Yorkshire
7 E200s are on-loan from Dawsonrentals, being used out of Olive Grove depot, they are:

YX14 RZE 44939

MX14 FUJ 44941
YX64 TXW (no fleetnumber yet - awaiting prep)
They are set to be allocated to set boards - mostly operating in Rotherham, however 44939 escaped onto the 96 on Monday

A bus operator in Yorkshire may be looking to replace a member of staff - if the video that is doing the rounds on the Predator Exposure fb page is accurate.

When you say "remaining"; what is happening to 1307-13? Also, has anyone got details of the new E200MMCs? The photos aren't reproducing too clearly, but look to include YX17 MJV & 'WKC, with no fleetnumbers mentioned.
