Ex-London Hybrids coming to York are confirmed as 39001-5 LK58ECV/W/X/Y/Z - VOLVO Gemini 2. Didn't know that, would be interesting! Michael Windle

Looks like a hybrid Gemini 2 for York. I know as First Leeds (nor any other First in Yorkshire fleets) use Gemini 2s with barbie styled interior and the driver's dash is identical to the hybrid Gemini 2s. www.flickr.com/photos/dbiw/11913414613/Michael Windle Could be an ex London Stock from what first sold last year. Sent from my GT-N7100 using proboards You're right but why they listed as Volvo as they're integral hybrids? I know some if not all have had technical modifications which meant the extension of the rear overhang, so does that mean there's now a bit of Volvo in them? Michael Windle

What has the Lancashire depot got to do with York Depot changes? Ouch.... Millwood is defo in Yorkshire by a good 3 miles! The only bit of Todmorden that's over the hill is half a cricket pitch, and that's outside Todmorden too as it's in Walsden.

I think the point may have been that this is the North & East Yorkshire board, of which Todmorden definitely isn't!

I don't look at the seperate boards, I just go on recent changes, saw there was one for Fleet Changes, looked & seen there was First stuff in it so just thought it was the First west yorkshire one, I never knew there was one for York too.

Did 39001-39005 get refurbished at Rotherham. Is the 2nd door removed from these buses. Or will York keep them dual door. ( if so they'll fall out of instance if they get moved around to West Yorkshire or wymetro territory) They might be the most silent hybrid deckers I've heard. I've been in these when in London on the 328, it's like a bus version of a Toyota Prius. Makes the E400H and Volvo B5LH buses sound like beasts. Here's a video of 39001 in service on the 328 in London below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G71BfBMuPBU

They have done a bit of work to them apparently there already, so it would seem pointless sending them to Rotherham before or after wright bus. In regards to the Marshall Capitals coming to Bramley, I would like them to stay in Halifax, we had anough of them on the 62 63 78's!! And then the haunts on the 37. They only darts we NEED is the ALX200's
