Just noticed the 670 and 675 interwork since the october changes. Thank you, I was certain the 675 had to interwork with something but I hadn't had time to check, thought the 670 was a likely candidate.

I have just seen Volvo B9TL 37507 on service 576 in Bradford Interchange today. This is one of 10 due from Doncaster.

Expect the rest of the cascades coming through shortly. 37500-37508 went into service at Sheffield temporarily as Doncaster released them after recieving the 330xxs and 622xxs. However, now that the Streetdecks are starting to arrive at Rotherham for the X78, the Rotherham B9s off the X78 are transferring across to Sheffield gradually.

37508 and 37525 have entered service in Huddersfield. 37508 was on 306 yesterday and 37525 was on 310 yesterday and 37500 has arrived in Bradford with DONCASTER names still applied.

Another transfer to Leeds (HP) from Bradford is B7RLE 69306, the skyline quickly being changed to Leeds.

As well as 31776 - 31780 in comments section of same post. Update: As a result of service changes in South Yorkshire, major fleet movements are planned in November in South Yorkshire with some buses transferring to West Yorkshire. Here's what West Yorkshire are getting:- ALX400s - 30571-574/576/937-938/31129-135/137-141/776-780 - Sheffield to Bradford; B9TL Geminis - 37500-08 from Doncaster to 1 of First West Yorkshire's depots. So which ones are Bradford actually suppose to be getting? went on South Yorkshire Forum and there mention that 31776-31780 have or are going to go to Halifax

No idea what buses Bradford are supposed to be getting eventually but all i know is 37500, 37503 & 37507 are there while 37508 & 37525 are at Huddersfield.

I'd say until we physically see a vehicle with a West Yorkshire area skyline on the side, nothing is confirmed!

Wouldn't at all be surprised to see these return to South Yorkshire soon, following the major issues involved since the network was significantly changed from 1 November. Just take a look at the media, online petitions, videos and other information that has been posted. Needless to say the changes have not worked, a reduction of around 40 vehicles between all operators, along with deckers replaced with single deckers was a recipe for disaster in the making.

Does anyone know if the 634 and 646 interwork ? They do indeed, with Solos. I think they should overlap the services allowing 634 passengers to board/alight in the city centre.

60820 noted on a hudds school service yesterday morning (with Halifax skylines), is this a loan/transfer?, or a replacement for 66101.

If interested and wanting to check, look for a "Synthetic Engine Oil" sticker on the rear near side body panel on the flap.

Needless to say the changes have not worked, a reduction of around 40 vehicles between all operators, along with deckers replaced with single deckers was a recipe for disaster in the making. I wouldn't expect that. Sheffield has the problem with capacity as a majority of the modern buses (single deckers mostly) from Doncaster and Rotherham including B7RLEs, B9TLs and Streetlites have moved into Sheffield to replace B7TL Gemenis which went to Rotherham (why!?), B7TL Presidents to Rotherham, Trident Presidents to Doncaster, a few ALX400s to West Yorkshire, Euro 2 ALX400s scrap and B10BLEs to Doncaster/scrap. Something's going to have to change but wait and see, in my opinion the most logical move would be 37021-30/32-35 back from RO-OG and all of Rotherham's B9TLs as originally intended in exchange for B7Ls/B7RLEs.
