Recent additions to the First South Yorkshire fleet are:
StreetDecks 35263 and 35273 SL67 VWO/VXA) from Leeds (Bramley) - the first of a number of 67 plate StreetDecks expected to move over once the new Electroliners for Bramley are in service (gather the first few have been delivered recently).
Volvo B9TL¡¯s 37553/4/6/7/8/9 (MX09 GYF/GYH/LML/HUO/HUU/HUP) from First Manchester (Oldham). These are for Doncaster, though 37554/8/9 have initially entered service at OG. 37551/5/60 (MX09 HUK/LMK/LMF) are to follow (and 37552 has been in the fleet a while).
Also expected in the near future are B7RLEs 69506-11 (BJ11 XHY/EBV/XHZ/EBU/EBZ), 69529/31 (BD11 CFJ/CFE) and 69537/8/9 (BF63 HDN/DU/DO) also from First Manchester. These have recently been repainted in to "Bee Network" yellow for use on the new First operations in Rochdale from the end of the month but this is believed to be just a temporary measure until newer vehicles arrive for that fleet.
These new arrivals are expected to release the E400s from Doncaster for cascade (to Halifax apparently), allow the withdrawal of some of the older B9s and release some Streetlites for cascade within First.
