The last demonstrator received here was Yutong decker 38880 (UU11 DDD) left here at the start of November, having been trialled both at Olive Grove depot (on the 51) and Doncaster depot (on the X78).

The Volvo/MCV decker previously trialled at Olive Grove (39601 - BV23 NNT) returned here last weekend for use at Doncaster on shuttle services connected with the return of the "Flying Scotsman" to Doncaster where it was built.? This (the bus, not the Flying Scotsman) has now moved on loan to First York, which has allowed York's Electroliner 36515 (MF23 ZWC) to come on loan for trials in Sheffield on the 51 route.

All the ex Southampton Streetlites are now in Sheffield 'blue' with the exception of 63052 (SK63 KJJ) which has had a blue front/rear added over its former red livery and branding for the Royal British Legion.

Volvo B7RLEs 69440/2 (WX59 BYS/U) are also now in Sheffield blue, with I gather 69438/9/41 and the ex Leeds Streetdeck (35211) also in line for a visit to the paintshop.
