The sharp eye amongst you may have noticed only 18 reg numbers listed for the 24 Versa buses (220-43). Those shown are for the Blackbun examples (220-37). The six for Keighley (238-43) will be YJ16DWE/F/G/K/L/M.

Tweets have also appeared of Keighley's new versas. Green with a diagonal yellow front. Many have pointed out the similarity to the old Badgerline livery, not that that's a bad thing. The 66 will be using the brand "Dalesway" Meanwhile the Lancashire Way 152 Geminis at Lancashire United have started to be turned out in a new livery which differs from that seen on the versas. www.flickr.com/photos/east_lancs/28030565431/in/datetaken/

Not mentioned in regards to the renumbering of local routes to K1, K2 etc, is that the 762 is to be renumbered 62.

Several of the Keighley versa's have been seen in the MyBus depot, some in badgerline livery, some in two tone green. Wonder if they will wait till September to register the Skipton ones? It would be appropriate to have "66" plates!

Can't believe anything from Iyork as says our last 415 not serving Barlby 1 it's not a 415 it's a 416 2 it is serving barlby and we've only took the timing point out to make the service a flyer some only got two timing points on the last bus

According to Alex Hornby, one of the 36 buses is going to be named Jack Laugher
Some good responsive marketing there, exactly the sort of thing what First Leeds should have done with their remaining unnamed hybrid buses 4 years ago, to ride on the positive news story, but alas they didn't.

Harrogate has received B7RLE 1839 YJ07PDX refurbished for Route 1 (has been about for a week or two but the WYIS fleetlist last updated yesterday still shows as being refurbished at Blackburn)
