Another long overdue update...
A launch event was held at Wentworth Woodhouse on Tuesday for the new Yutong 'electro' fleet (photos at? for those interested).
The 23 vehicles, fleet numbers 73001-23 are registered YH24 LZS-X, YH24MBF/U/V/X/Y/MDE/F/J/K/N/O/U/V/X/Y/Z/EU and - subject to the charging infrastructure at the depot being completed on time - should begin entering service a week on Monday on routes 221 (Rotherham - Doncaster) and 22X (Rotherham - Barnsley).
Resulting cascades out of Rawmarsh should see off the remaining MANs in the fleet.
Recently open-topped Scania/E400 15717 (YN60 CKK) and ex Lincolnshire B7TL/Wrights 16943 (FX06 AOE) are both now in the Peak Sightseer livery.? Two open top Trident/ALX400s (18186 - MX54 LPN and 18303 - WA05 MGX) plus one open top Enviro 400 (TBC) are coming in on loan from Stagecoach South West to provide 8 vehicles (15717-9, 16943, 18467?+ the 3 loanees) to cover the 6 PVR Peak Sighteer operation for this year which commences on Saturday.
