For some actual fleet news,
Ex Keighley Darts 715 and 720 are now in use in Burnley in Starship livery replacing Solos 1255 and 1256, and B6 605 (the York liveried one) appears to have been disposed of as it does not feature in the latest WYIS fleetlist.
York Solos 1260 and 1261 ( and stored 1262) are to go off lease.
Only three stored vehicles are listed as being for re use B10 202 and Solos 1255 and 1256.

The ub1 doesn't run in the Summer. I believe Transdev have sold it and are going to make do with a Dart until the Hybrid vehicle arrives.

All ECW Olympians withdrawn from Keighley, 47, 345, 347, 349 and of course blue 389. Replacements being 964, 983, 984, 986 & 987 from York. I think more B10 MyBus are coming from Harrogate as they have won extra work.

All the Cullingworth Parkside school services are being replaced by a MyBus network. They are currently run by a mix of double decks, service bus B10BLEs & MyBuses now, plus First Bradford are also involved.
It is not known what changes this will mean as many buses operate services to two schools, plus the Transdev/First mix may have changed.

Will cause problems as the mybuses are longer and won't all fit in the grounds, I heard some are going from local streets!

At least this indicates that a start has been made on the 1980s fleet, however there are still 42 Leyland/Volvo Olympians , 11 Dennis Javelins and 2 Volvo B10Ms (504/9) to replace in the next three years.

The old 3613 has resurfaced in use by M-Line complete with its X13VTD plates, presumably given that Transdev is trying to divorce itself from Veolia they no longer want the VTD plate. Found on Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/mse062/9515673633/Also 1047 is at Harrogate as well as 1051.

RouteOne Magazine have reported an attempt to clarify the situation with school buses and DDA regulations noting that the Department for Transport (Dft) has now said (rather unhelpfully) that '......it is up to individual operators to ensure......'. As a result, the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) has been asked to clarify the situation. Their guidance on the subject is that a 'home to school' service will *not* be liable to DDA regulations unless it is registered as 'open to all' So if vehicles are to be used solely on school services that are solely for use by the scholars there is no 3 year deadline.

York has 2 H reg Leyland Olympian NC and 3 Volvo Olympian NC on loan from Keighley. The B reg Olympian is now VOR.

I do wonder why they have loaned Olympians when Keighley presumably also have many Presidents stood down during the Summer.
Having said that they are probably on loan for the next race meeting officially and being used in service while there. York will have to go back to loaning Keighley Olympians again now for the races now they no longer have their own Olympians.

Solo's also leaving York at some point and maybe gaining more b10's The Solos leaving, I can understand ... they are losing 5 Solo diagrams of work ... but why would they need any more B10BLEs? Unless either the Versas or some B7RLEs are going as well.
