(07 Jun 2021, 8:41 pm)mb134 Rebranding as "Team Pennine" - which seems more like something you'd find on an internal memo than something you'd land on as the company name. Why not "The Pennine Bus Company" as with the rest of the Transdev operations, and refer to the staff as "Team Pennine", similar to "Team GNE".
Livery looks bog standard Best Impressions. Funnily enough when I first saw it, I thought "ah, Stagecoach/Arriva must be rebranding the 685". Think I actually prefer the Yorkshire Tiger livery, at least there was some imagination there.
Inspired by a visit to Alan Robson's website or Davey Bowyer's thread featuring Northumbria Olympians?

Either way, I'll be dialling 100 and asking the operator for freephone Pennine Windows!

It appears the North East isn't the only place that doesn't have congestion busting buses, not going to the places it's passengers need to be.

First West Yorkshire
Due for delivery shortly are 28 Wright Streetdecks numbered 35638-65 - unlike the previous batches, these are destined for Bradford depot alongside a number of new Wright Streetlites as part of the introduction of a Clean Air Zone in Bradford. These will introduce a new livery for the Bradford fleet - a two-tone Blue along similar lines to the Two-Tone Green used on 'Leeds City' fleet.
While Bradford gains new stock and a whole new-look livery, the fleet at Huddersfield and Halifax depots are also undergoing a minor brand refreshing - while not to the same level as Leeds and Bradford, the original-style Olympia livery is being replaced by the 'Olympia2' livery with coloured front adopted in other First fleets.
Huddersfield is seeing an expansion of the 'HD Connect' livery - first rolled out back in 2018 on services 370/371/372 (Lindley to Huddersfield then either Rawthorpe, Dalton or Almondbury).

First West Yorkshire 69559 (BV13 YZZ) by Tony Kuy, on FlickrHalifax meanwhile is gaining a similar variation called 'HX Connect' with a darker shade of blue in use. So far, 6 B7RLEs, 2 B9TLs and the former Halifax heritage livered B7TL have been repainted.

Purchased from Nottingham City Transport are 15 Enviro200s and an undisclosed number of Scania N230UD/Omnidekkas. So far confirmed to have made the move northwards are E200s 366/7/8/79 (YX13 AEG/J/K, BNY) and 383/4 (YX63 LHY/Z). 10 examples are destined for use in the Rosso-branded fleet (366/7/8/79 make up 4 of these 10) with the remaining 5 (including 383/4) will be joining the Team Pennine fleet.

It really is the political hot potato at the mo.
They may be calling it out for their own needs, but it's about time operators decisions and the impact it has - is called out and publicised.
The down side is that I'm not sure it will make any difference in the operators ivory towers - after all, they do know best.

RE: Yorkshire Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 24 May 2022
Following the fire at Potters Bar depot, First York have grounded their fleet of Metrodecker EVs. As such a number of vehicles from within the West Yorkshire fleet are now on-loan to York until such a time that the Metrodeckers can be reinstated.
Confirmed so far are:
Leeds Streetdecks 35203 and 35510 plus B7RLE 66743
Halifax E400 33875/6 and B9TL 37500
A further 10 vehicles are on-loan - these are mainly tracking as Metrodeckers on Bus Times apart from one vehicle which is tracking as Wright Hybrid 39004. In addition, the Citaros are seeing increased usage - 11101 is tracking on 8s today while 11103-5 are making up the entire allocation on the 2 (recently, the 2 has been allocated 2 B7RLEs alongside a single Citaro).

Hornsbys now have the contract for service 399, starting today. Service 291 no longer operates though.
Yorkshire Bus Operations - TEN 6083 - 12 Jul 2022
More bus strikes in West Yorkshire tomorrow, this was posted by the mayor of the county:
Here is my statement following news that bus strikes will resume in some parts of the region tomorrow (Wednesday 13th July 2022):
“Like others, I found out about the resumption of the strike on social media just before 6pm this evening. To inform passengers at this late hour is incredibly disappointing and leaves people unable to make alternative plans.
“I am particularly concerned about passengers arriving at a bus stop tomorrow only to find out they have no means of transport, other than walking or getting a taxi.
“Communities across West Yorkshire need an urgent resolution to this dispute. With the potential for strike action to continue indefinitely, it seems sensible to invite ACAS in to help broker an agreement between Arriva and Unite for the benefit of bus users.
“I share the frustrations of those who will find getting to school or work difficult in the coming days. My powers to intervene in this dispute remain limited, as unlike London, services here are controlled by private operators. However, the free bus service I introduced between Wakefield and Pinderfields hospital will continue ensuring people can keep vital hospital appointments.”
