A large number of allocation changes are planned to occur over the next week or so in connection with increases in service back to almost the levels they were pre-Covid.
Whilst always subject to last minute changes, the following is what I believe?is expected to happen:
Barnsley to Chesterfield
26085, 47321
Barnsley to Rawmarsh
26086. 26087
Chesterfield to Barnsley
10655, 10663, 15644, 15645, 15660, 22635
Ecclesfield to Chesterfield
36460, 36715, 36716, 36717, 36718, 36985
Holbrook to Barnsley
36719
Rawmarsh to Barnsley
37086
reserve to Barnsley
15414
reserve to Ecclesfield
15710
reserve to Holbrook
12165
reserve to Rawmarsh
22539
Barnsley to reserve
22435, 35236*, 35262*, 35263*, 36178, 36179, 36181
Chesterfield to reserve
34722*, 35110*, 35115*, 35116*, 35227*, 35229*, 35230*, 35231*, 35232*, 35233*, 35234*, 35261*, 47322
Ecclesfield to reserve
35109*, 35111*
Rawmarsh to reserve
22535*, 22536, 22542, 22545
(vehicles marked * have been delicenced and in the Covid delicenced pool since the start of service reductions.? The movements above officially move them now to the reserve pool upon the disbanding of the special Covid reserve).
In addition, 'standard' Scania/E400s 15589/90/91/92 (GX10 HAE/AO/AU/BA) are expected from Stagecoach Merseyside and will be allocated to Barnsley.? These are a straight swap for Gold specification Scania/E400s 15535 and 15609-11 which are going in the opposite direction.
One 'quirk' of the service changes from the beginning of September is the movement of the majority of vehicle workings on services 93/95 (Barnsley - Wooley/Kexborough) to Rawmarsh depot.? During the daytime, 4 of the 6 hourly journeys on the 93/5 will be worked by Rawmarsh (interworked off the 226 and 22X), with Barnsley providing 2 vehicle workings per hour.
