I believe, original idea was Heckmondwike got the majority of new ones for 254/255/268, and 1900-13, were then gonna move to Castleford, but, the idea has been changed at least 3 times, that I've been informed.

Just think the 268 is heckmondwike' premium route and the 58 regs are looking old now! No doubt Arriva will keep us guessing till July, then we'll have another mass realocation on our hands !

Don't believe a word of it - the North East batch are currently being refurbished to MAX standard for the 308 and evening operation on the Blyth to Newcastle Express services. So I highly doubt that they'd spend money on doing them up if they were leaving the area

According to my sources at Heckmondwike, 1900-13 (58 reg), are now staying there, and 'rumoured' to be moving are the normal livery, 1500's that currently are used on 254/255. But, like I've said previously, it's been changed 3 times from what I've been told.

Arriva Yorkshire have just renewed a contract with Volvo for maintenance on the Hybrids, something that surely wouldnt have been done if they were moving ! Penfold

New buses launched from castleford depot at an open day on 25th June , it says buses are for 163/6 & 189 routes, which must mean that castleford are getting the bulk of new vehicles.

Their MAXing was hinted at earlier this year. It represents the best of both worlds having new Enviro 400-MMCs for both Castleford and Heckmondwike!

I wouldn't be entirely surprised. Although route 268 is given some priority, Arriva Yorkshire tend to prefer upgrading their Leeds routes rather than other local or interurban routes.

Just passed Castleford depot and saw what looked like an E400 (light turquoise coloured) at the back of the shed. First one of the new ones maybe? Wasn't a hybrid BTW.
