First Leeds

 

Just a quick update on the latest StreetDeck deliveries...

35634/5 (YE69 YHG/F) were delivered to Bramley with grey fronts and internal branding for the Pudsey services (4/16) which the grey fronted vehicles are intended for. However, without use at Bramley they were transferred to Hunslet Park, the grey fronts replaced by green (generic colour for non-corridor specific vehicles) and the internal brandings removed, and now seem to have taken up residency on the 33/34.

35636/7 (YE69 YHB/A) were delivered to Bramley with yellow fronts (for the York Road coridoor) and guide arms, but not yet guidewheels. Once the wheels have been fitted they will be allocated to service 56, for now they are being used on any non-guideway workings.

Wrightbus goes for Hydrogen

 

Rather as expected, after the takeover:-

Re: Stagecoach Yorkshire 30/12

 

The relaxed atmosphere of the coaches made the service what it is. I suspect they may have unwittingly killed the weekend evening services.

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".

Merry Christmas!

 

Just a quick note to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Who knows what surprises this industry has in store for us next year, but hopefully through the good network of members we have on this group, you'll be able to read all about it on YDBN!

Yorkshire Tiger

 

Currently on loan at Idle depot is ADL E200MMC YX69 NZD, in use today on service 757 (Leeds - Leeds Bradford Airport).

Leicester to South Yorkshire

 

Volvo B7RLEs 66962/9 (KX05 MHY/MJU) are the latest of this type to transfer from First Leicester to First South Yorkshire (Doncaster depot).

Ian


First Leicester Streetdecks ex-FSY

 

The 5th Streetdeck to transfer was 35119 and is understood to now be in Leicester. The final one expected, now to be 35137, is apparently on the way down. With the addition of the one Streetlite (63379) that should make up the 7 that were originally to be the Geminis from Leeds.........

Dale


First Leicester arrivals

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Streetdeck 35124 is the 4th transfer to Leicester from FSY at Sheffield. It joins 35117/30/31 and is not one of those previously understood to be being transferred. Two more Streetdecks are due and may, again, now not be those previously pencilled in......

Streelite 63379 is reported to be another transfer from Sheffield to Leicester. Again, this is not the vehicle previously indicated.

Dale

Re: More First Leeds Streetdecks

Some more Streetdecks that have been around Leeds over the last few days which I don't think have been reported elsewhere:

First SY

 

Around half of the 26 Volvo B9TL/Wrights expected from First WY (Hunslet Park) have now arrived at Olive Grove and been pressed straight in to service, still with Pulse brandings.? As far as I know the following are still to move over to OG - 36225/6, 36235, 36240/3/4/5/7/9, 36250/1/2/3.

The first casualties of their arrival should be the remaining B7Ls and B7TL/Presidents at Olive Grove, though a number of newer vehicles are also leaving Olive Grove - StreetDecks 35102/17/18/29/30/31 and StreetLites 63012/34 and 63382/6 are all moving to First Midlands (Leicester and PMT in old money).? Why such an eclectic?assortment rather?than a straight batch of vehicles you ask - simple, they all have major faults that First SY apparently?don't have the resources (personnel or financial) to repair, so they get transferred out for other depots to fix and use.

In a similar vein, a number of B9TL/Wrights and B7RLE/Wrights are due to move from within First SY - from Olive Grove to Doncaster - for them to repair then use.? The first ones to move are 37106/8 and 69025.? In return, Doncaster are due to send (fully functional) B7RLEs 69641-5 and 69512-4, plus StreetLites 63377/78/84 to Olive Grove in the next few weeks.

Re: More First Leeds Streetdecks

 

Folks

it's been suggested that the new batch at Hunslet (I believe 35583-99) are for the 51/52. Any thoughts?
