According to an article I have read, the make up of deliveries is as follows:
41 VDL DB300 'deckers and 2 VDL SB200 saloons. It suggests that 21 of the former will go to Belle Isle, with Dewsbury having 7 and Heckmondwike 13, plus the 2 single deckers.

Looking at the potential allocations above Belle Isle 16/17 for 110 and the other 4/5 for 126/7. Dewsbury 7 would be their share of the 126/7. Heckmondwike could it be 13 for the 254/5 but the 2 SD could those be for the 256! If the above is correct then what will happen to those being displaced Darwens to Dewsbury for 202/3 then where for the Lowlanders, Castleford, Selby or even Heckmondwike for the 229. The Eclipses form Heckmondwike I'm sure everywhere would like some/all of those.

Selby only saw the 7 VDL's 2 year ago so we not crying out as much bar we could do with getting shot of the Alx Darts but thats another thing! I can see potential investment of the ELC Vdl's moving to Castleford to give them slightly better fleet age despite having the Tempos.

It would make sense to move the Lowlanders to Castleford for the 163/6, that needs to be decker operated on the 15 min timetable. In terms of what leaves the fleet, take your pick after the 4 Step Ikarus's from Dewsbury. The Step Spectras from Belle Isle while there could be a market for them. The ALX200 Darts or some of the ALX300 DAF's. I'm sure most would vote for the latter two but there are circa 75 of those still running around

Second hand 'Steps' haven't got a market anymore, or at least for the price AY will be wanting to sell them for. Penfold

I believe this is one of the batch that is currently being delivered to Arriva Midlands North (Cannock Depot). The fleetnumber 3758 follows on from 2 that have already been delivered there. Penfold

Selby ridding of the VDL Gemini's is not good. Bit off topic but what will happen to Derby's Enviro's when they have finished with them, will they pass to Arriva Yorkshire.

From what I recall Derby enviros were leased to cover stock that went Malta similar situation out broke in Liverpool too but with arrival of new buses this has been cleared up..

Haven't seen a recent Selby fleetlist to be honest. Yes but your forum name is a bit mis leading if your not aware of them only having the one or is this a false identity for someone else? Because on this forum we have a strict policy about life time bans and with recent going ons one thing leading to another make me feel something is not adding up anyway! Lets get back on topic now..
