RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 02 Jul 2018 Yorkshire Tiger have cancelled all but one of their Barnsley and South Yorkshire area contracted services today effective from the 2nd September. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 09 Jul 2018 Stagecoach Yorkshire Further expansion ahead - from 23rd July, Stagecoach have been awarded the contract for the tendered journeys on the 65 (Sheffield to Buxton) which have been thrown in by High Peak (the two commercial journeys leaving Buxton at 0855 and 1225 will remain operated by High Peak). These will be operated by Chesterfield and will be extended from Sheffield to Meadowhall along the same route as the X17 extension. Information from ‘mojoe44’ over on the ‘Travel South Yorkshire Transport’ Forum RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 12 Jul 2018 (10 Jun 2018, 12:55 pm)Kuyoyo Stagecoach Yorkshire Stagecoach Timetable also now online Confirms the stand changes in Sheffield - towards Barnsley, it will use Stand C1 which will be shared with the X78 towards Doncaster. Likewise, in Meadowhall, Chesterfield/Matlock-bound journeys will share the X78 stand (Stand A4). Also due to roadworks, there are some major changes to services 57 (Sheffield to Stocksbridge via Hillsborough and Ouightbridge), 201 (Chapeltown to Stocksbridge) and SL1/SL1a (Middlewood Park and Ride to Stocksbridge via Deepcar). Breaking it down, it goes as followed: The 57 will only operated between Sheffield and Wharncliffe Side only. Additional shuttle journeys on the 57 will operate between Wharncliffe Side and Middlewood Park and Ride. The early morning Sunday journeys on the 57 will be split in two - normal timetable between Stocksbridge and Deepcar (3 journeys from Stocksbridge, with one return journey from Deepcar), while a revised timetable will be in place between Wharncliffe Side and Sheffield to the same frequency (3 into the city and 1 outbound journey). The shuttle journeys will run twice hourly Monday to Saturday daytime (three times an hour at peak times) until approximately 2200 when it drops to hourly. On Sundays, the shuttle will run every 20 minutes until 1808, after which there's a forty minute gap at which point it drops to hourly (matching the SL1). The SL1/SL1a will operate via Leppings Lane, Halifax Road, Penistone Road and Stocksbridge Bypass to Deepcar, before then operating their normal routes around Deepcar and Stocksbridge, returning to Middlewood via the outbound route reversed. Evening/Sunday journeys will continue to serve the areas of Stocksbridge normally served by the 57 during the day. The 201 will be extended to Deepcar via the 57 route to cover these areas at other times. It will operate normally between Stocksbridge and Chapeltown. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 12 Jul 2018 (09 Jul 2018, 12:50 pm)Kuyoyo Stagecoach Yorkshire Derbyshire County Council have now put the timetable online To save on dead mileage, the first journeys from Calver Sough to Buxton (Schooldays as the 65a via Buxton Hospital and Community School, Saturdays and School Holidays via the normal 65 route) and the last journey from Buxton on Monday to Saturday will start/finish in Chesterfield and run as service 66 between Chesterfield and Tideswell (the last departure from Buxton will connect with an X17 in Chesterfield allowing more time in Buxton (the last direct Buxton to Sheffield will leave at 1532 on schooldays as a 65a, and 1603 Saturdays and Holidays as a 65). With the exception of the aforementioned last direct journey, the rest of the Monday to Saturday journeys are extended to Meadowhall along the same route as the X17. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 17 Jul 2018 TM Travel Scania L94UB 613/7/9/31/67 are in the process of transferring from Trent Barton- 619/31 are already at Halfway. Their intended role is to replace the five remaining Centros - SB120s 796/9/800 and MAN 1198/1200. 631 is the odd one out, being a former ‘Skylink’ example. The rest were formerly on the ‘i4’.

First Huddersfield YJ06XKU 37029 by Ben Gleeson, on Flickr First Huddersfield BV13ZDK 69558 by Ben Gleeson, on Flickr RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 02 Aug 2018 Full breakdown of the changes from South Yorkshire PTE In summary: The partnership routes 1/1a and 52/52a are cut back in a similar way to the 120 - Stagecoach’s 1 will serve High Green at all times while First’s 1As will terminate at Chapeltown during the Monday to Saturday daytime. Likewise, and in a twist to the longstanding sharing on the service, Stagecoach’s daytime journeys on the 52 will be cut back to terminate at Crookes (First’s 52As will continue to serve Hillsborough and Wisewood), reducing the number of Stagecoach bus services to Hillsborough during the daytime from 7 an hour to just 1 (the hourly 57). In Doncaster, a major recast sees the 57/58 changed into circulars - the 57a/c will additionally serve Doncaster Sheffield Airport replacing the X4. Apart from the 203, all of the Yorkshire Tiger services are passing to Stagecoach (the 92 passes to Stagecoach from this Sunday the 5th August) - Barnsley will operate the 7, 23/23a, 24 and 92 (requiring 4 buses) while the 72/72a will be operated by Ecclesfield depot (2 Solos) RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 20 Aug 2018 Stagecoach Yorkshire One I failed to mention, Chesterfield-based Pointer Dart 35114 is the first Yorkshire example to receive the revised mostly white livery Stagecoach in Yorkshire 35114 (YN06 WCR) by Tony Kuy, on Flickr Sister 35110 (YN06 WCL) and slightly older 34722 (YN05 XOB) have been reinstated at Chesterfield from Ecclesfield reserve as the extra vehicles following the addition of the 65. As well, due to reduced vehicle requirements due to summer reductions and the 57/201/SL1/SL1a route work amendments, Ecclesfield-based E200 36415 (YN11 FFG) has been on loan back to its original home of Rawmarsh, while Ecclesfield Reserve Solo 47467 (YN07 OSE) has been loaned to Chesterfield. RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 21 Aug 2018 (20 Aug 2018, 10:24 am)Kuyoyo Stagecoach Yorkshire And now, sadly, news of another Chesterfield Dart repainted into the mostly white livery...… 34720 (YN05 XNZ), formerly Chesterfield Transport liveried (and 'East Midlands' 1956-1972 Ivory/Cream before that) has now reverted to standard fleet livery (albeit the revised version) after 7 years in historic liveries Stagecoach in Yorkshire 34720 (YN05 XNZ) by Tony Kuy, on Flickr RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 26 Aug 2018 Transdev A pair of Enviro200MMCs are due in the near future for York, to replace the two older MPDs on the 42 (York to Selby and Drax) due to reliability issues - they are being leased, so will remain in dealer white with 'York and Country 42' vinyl branding applied. The first of the 3 additional Volvo B5TLs for Coastliner landed at Harrogate Starbeck depot on Friday - this is BN68XPR. These 3 will replace B9TLs 422-4, which are likely to be moved elsewhere within the group. Newer 425/6 (BF62 UXV/W) have been transferred to Rosso following the reduction in PVR at Malton. 'Harrogate Connect' Versas 211/2 (YJ12 MZU/V) have transferred to York depot alongside older former Lancashire examples 201/2/5 - despite the original plan of using B10BLEs, it seems the plans for York have changed to using the redundant Versas.

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.
