Talking of Tates, could anybody point me to a fleet numbering list as some of their buses do seem to be carrying 4 digit numbers. Thanks

Thanks very much LJX 198 - this is a very detailed list and most useful. The numbering is complicated, but looks to be based on year of registration, but why the 2 as a prefix? If what we read is correct, then we will be seeing more of Tates in West Yorks. I am guessing they will win some of the tenders up for renewal in the Wakefield area in April.

understand tates will be operating more routes in west yorkshire from april 12. Yes, understand South Huddersfield to be the likely area of expansion.

Perhaps a more regular Barnsley - Huddersfield bus which could be linked with the X10 to give a Huddersfield - Meadowhall service which could compete with the Penistone Line in terms of time taken to get anywhere.

The X10 takes 50-55 mins from Barnsley to Meadowhall therefore straight away any through service would take longer than the train from any point on the Penistone Line so it couldn't compete in terms of journey time.

The X10 takes about an hour and the train takes about 20 minutes so no compertition there. The bus is however 10p cheaper.

If it's like last time this was discussed here it will probably turn out to be a South Yorkshire tender that very slightly goes into the edge of West Yorkshire!

Was mentioned on the SY forum that its a batch of tenders in the Wakefield area. Some are cross boundary like the 59 and 194, whilst others are wholly in West Yorkshire like the Wakefield FreeCityBus.

So, it's possible that this is to do with the bus review consulations that is going on. Some of the Wakefield changes are planned for April 2012. www.wymetro.com/consultation/busreview/wakefield

Are NG02NZA-C DDA Comp ?, Hopefully Tate's will start operating the Barnsley - Huddersfields again and possibly a Barnsley - Denby Dale via Clayton West or Skelmanthorpe.

Thanks LJX 198 but i'm sure the destination blinds arn't DDA comp, Same on the DAF Cadets. Also noted NG02NZB on the 24 today with the destination showing: 24 Denby Dale via Hood Green, Penistone, Inburchworth & On hire to Veolia ?

The destinations are fine, just as long as it is not in block capitals and the font size is a unknown certain size

Oh god, Malli don't say that. Are they going to be like YX61DOU or bog standard ones like YX11HNT/U. Don't like E200s but YX61DOU wasn't a bad one.

Right, I'm finding catching the 97 very useful for rumours and listern to drivers these days. L621TDY Today on the 13:25 ex Barnsley to Wakefield.
After the drivers around me had finished talking about Redline they started talking about timetables and Wakefield routes 194/195/196. Are these up for renewal in April ?. They seemed to suggest Tate's might have got the 194/195/196 but unless anyone can conferm on not, We will have to wait and see.
