Then again the B6's have had alot of money spent on them by refurbs. I wonder if York's B10's will get the makeover treatment ? I don't see any connection. The Harrogate B6BLEs were refurbished years ago.

No they weren't they only got the makeover 2009/2010 with new rear lights. Look at Transdev Burnley B10's they have only had their buses refurbished for 18 months now,

The B6s had a "mid-life" refit when they were around 6 years old receiving digital destinations displays etc

Would be nice to see Transdev expand in York and maybe challenge First because when it comes to travel Transdev always win the battle, look at the attempt first tried with the York-Leeds operation. Transdev Versa's were much busier despite been not as nice as First's B7's. Yes and No Holland, First did do one thing in all of this along the A64 corridor which was brought Transdev prices down!

I think they have replaced the closed top Metrobus with a ex Lothian Olympian.

B241WUL was the closed top one. Hope F349WSC gets a full repaint into city sightseeing livery.

It was a very nice MCW. It's a shame it is now withdrawn, i remember it even been on service work a few times. York races are coming up in a few months. Wonder what Trasnsdev York will do now ? as isn't this a double decker requirement ? Transdev York could of done with the ex Dublin Oly's staying.
