To replace all the MPDs and possibly one or two other buses as there aren't 31 MPDs 230 is staying at belle Isle. Dunno why tho just a random pointer. Maybe they upping the frequency on one of the routes or need spare for the FreeCityBus as solos keep going off roads. Sent from my GT-N7100 using proboards

Sent from my GT-N7100 using proboards It would be nice if some frequencies could be increased somewhere. The same could have been said when all the new buses arrived in the last few years, reinstating some frequencies that were cut a decade earlier, but sadly all were one in, one out. Now First are starting to show signs of looking at growth instead of managing decline, Arriva Yorkshire will need to start to up their game.

Penfold I wonder why Castleford need 8 new buses to replace just the 5 MPD's they have there! Are Castleford taking over the Pontefract end of the revised 490/4 service, I wonder.

Yes Castleford are running 490/4

Yes Castleford are running 490/4 Wouldn't that mean a couple of Enviro 200 from 1062-1066 being surplus at Selby in that case or am I missing something. Back to the 8 new ones for Castleford the existing MPD's tend to be used mainly on 188 (3 required) and 187 this requires 2 if it is stand alone and no longer interwork with 167/8 That leaves 3 for 490/4 which is excessive. An alternative plan could be use the new ones on 156/9 but that requires 4 buses and tends to be more about frequency than capacity and the 3 for the 188. Time will tell no doubt.......

No because Selby running the bit between Sherburn and Tadcaster using Enviros which is the worst bit with over hanging trees

Looking forward to 'bashing' the new Enviro 200's when they enter service. Any further details on fleet numbers, reg's, etc yet? Also would love to see a pic if anyone's lucky enough to have snapped one so far.

Will be a change seeing YY reg marks rather than the usual YJ series. I assume they are registered by Alexander Dennis at Scarborough, therefore taking the Beverley YY marks.

Could just be a coincidence that 1009 was in Wakey bus station yesterday (it was not in service as far as I could tell). Are we sure the number series will start 1001 ? all the recent series have started with '00' .... 700, 1100, 1300, 1400. 1500 .... etc. Maybe they're saving the number 1000 for something special ??

Just had a glance at one of the new liveried Enviro's at Belle Isle. Not impressed by the livery I think the would look better in normal livery
