Hi Tony
My guesses below...
1) Mexborough & Swinton livery
2) 73 native Olympians of which I think at least 3 had donor roofs fitted
3) First Leeds ran one of the 3 duties, YTC the other 2
4) Tates ran it in their usual manner, think it was the X30
5) Probably Crimewatch in Rotherham
6) True
7) 906 (Volvo B7TL)
8) 76 + 77
9) BMCs 101-106
10) Trent

Hi, Photos are always great and welcome. Seen photos of it on the 14 too but again thanks for the replys. Bus arrived safe in South Yorkshire today but does need a fair bit of work to get it back into a road legal condition
so wont be seen for a while but hopefully by an event planned for 2022 the bus will be out and about.
?
Thanks for all the intrest and help.

Thanks again ?

Hi Joe
I'm not sure if it (and K 9 YTB) ever had a 'fixed' allocation at Barnsley.? They arrived as part of an influx?of 2nd hand vehicles in 2003/4 (including the B10Bs, Volvo Olympians, K-YCL Leylands etc) to see off the older Olympian/ECWs
so often in the latter days of Tracky it was pretty much 'anything goes'!
I seem to recall them being on the 14 (Barnsley - Hospital - Gilroyd) and Barnsley - Darfield (68) a fair bit, but sure I suffered one on a 222 (Barnsley - Wath - Doncaster) at least once too!
?
Hi Ian,
?
That is fantastic yes thank you very much. One last question is what route did it do most commonly or routes while at Barnsley depot. If all goes to plan the
bus will be back in South Yorkshire by this time tomorrow.

Thank you, Joe

Hi Joe
New to Yorkshire Terrier in 08/1993 as their 104 based at Holbrook
Transferred to Yorkshire Traction as their 443 in 12/2004
Repainted in to Tracky livery 01/2005 and allocated to Barnsley depot
Renumbered as 32199 in the Stagecoach national numbering scheme upon the takeover of Traction Group Ltd in 12/2005
Transferred to Huddersfield depot 04/2006
Withdrawn 10/2006 and stored at Shafton depot
Sold to Hardwick, Carlton (dealer) 09/2007
to Regal Busways, Essex 10/2007
to Don's, Great Dunmow around 01/2010
As far as I know it never ran in service at Shafton - though sisters K1/2/3 YTB (32195-7) did.

Evening all,
?
Just looking for some history for Tracky Dart 443 L4 YTB (Stagecoach 32199) mainly with depots it operated for a what routes it was allocated between its transfer
from Terrier and then Stagecoach days. I know it operated at Barnsley and ended up at Wateroo but I remember it at Shafton but can¡¯t find evidence of that.
