A bit of fun
After the collapse of EGroups, this (Yahoo) group was setup in July 2000 when Yorkshire Traction itself was in full swing. The below data shows posts made over the years. We've been quiet of late, but lets try to revive the group, and work along side our sister Social Medias in Twitter and Facebook. (Do I need to create a SnapChat, WhatsApp and Insagram feed to complete the set?)

Stagecoach Yorkshire 25/10
An additional new Volvo B11RT/Caetano coach has arrived for additional National Express work from Chesterfield depot - BV19 KPL (fleet no 54412). Gold Scania/E400s 15190/1 (YN64 AOA/B) have had X1 branding added to their Gold livery ahead of the commencement of the new X1 Chesterfield - Nottingham service on Sunday. I gather the Gold Scania/E400s due from Stagecoach Oxfordshire to top up the Gold fleet (due to the above) are to begin arriving over the weekend. Ian Virus-free. www.avg.com

Stagecoach Yorkshire 05/11
ex Oxfordshire 'Gold' Scania/E400s 15609/10 (OU10 BHA/D) have arrived at Chesterfield depot and are being prepared for service. A further 6 are to follow (reportedly 15533-7 and 15611 - but that may change!). In a change to the planned fleet moves that occurred in October, E200 36719 (YN62 BDU) moved from Barnsley to Ecclesfield (not Holbrook as initially planned) resulting in similar 36413 (YN11 FFD) remaining at Holbrook rather than moving to Ecclesfield. Reserve fleet Dart/Pointer 35112 (YN06 WCO) is in use at Rawmarsh as the seasonal 'delay buster' vehicle, used when shopping traffic around Parkgate in Rotherham throws the schedules out. In previous years a MAN/ALX300 from the reserve fleet has undertaken this role. Ian

Flooding in South Yorkshire
2
For those not in the area... It's raining, a lot. Conditions and river levels said to be as bad as when the major floods occurred in Sheffield in June 2007. The River Don has over topped at Meadowhall, and most major roads in and out of Sheffield are under water (Penistone Road at Hillsborough, Chesterfield Road at Heeley, Langsett Road at Oughtibridge to name a few). As such, Stagecoach have suspended all services in Sheffield for the remainder of the evening (though some vehicles are still out trying to finish their route some hours after the suspension was put in place) and I gather First are shortly to do likewise. Additionally the Stagecoach depot at Ecclesfield is at risk of flooding, so vehicles are being moved over to Holbrook and Rawmarsh depots at present. Ian

Stagecoach East Midlands - Allocation Changes - Period 7
Control of the Long Sutton depot (between Spalding and Kings¡¯ Lynn) passed from Stagecoach East to Stagecoach East Midlands during this period, resulting in many of the allocation changes below.

Gold Scania/E400 15609 (OU10 BHA) entered service on the X10 (Barnsley - Leeds) route on Friday. Along with 15610 these are generally covering the X10 at present, with a further 2 Gold DDs being prepared for Barnsley. I gather the former mainstays of the X10, Volvo/Plaxtons 53714-6 are shortly to leave the fleet, one going to Stagecoach South East and the other two 'to Scotland". Ian
