That'll be a tight squeeze passing through oxenhope, when I was on a Streetlite the driver could barely make it past one corner. I dread to think what the eclipses will be like!

450/1/2/3 have been at Keighley for a long time. They've been used mainly on the 662 until now when they have now become the vehicles for the 500.
B10B Renowns 1061 and 1063 have been re-activated to balance the fleet.

If Keighley get that Gemini plus all the remaining presidents that aren't already there, that should mean the Olympians that are causing such knashing of teeth could be withdrawn.

Where are the presidents coming from? What sort of condition are they in? Ex National Express West Midlands / Xplore Dundee. All 8 are for Harrogate so possibly for School use (?) as the whole Vazoom originates with the S36 school bus between Ripon and Harrogate schools and the Vazoom idea seems to be make use of the School fleet while its sat about during the day. B10BLE 305 has been debranded so presumably will be one vehicle to be stored / withdrawn when the further B7s arrive at Starbeck/

It's been de branded because it used to be branded for the 1 but isn't used on there any more since the refurbished buses took over.

Yes but they wouldn't keep the old branding in use alongside the new branding I believe there is sufficient refurbished buses just no spares in any case, what's the PVR?

WYIS gives eight, all going to Harrogate W34MOA, W69MOA, W74MOA, W78MOA, W84MOA, W118DOP, W119DOP AND W412DOE. Further debranded B10BLEs are 306, 308 and 1084.

The MOAs are actually all V-MOA, and I hadn't seen any reports previously re V78/84, but Tony Hunter's excellent website shows them as moving to Transdev, so assume they've arrived somewhere too, ...or in transit!

Fleet numbering possibly explains V78 and V84 being later purchases and WYIS now has 6 of them to be painted in Vamooz livery 2719 V34 MOA Harrogate Red 2720 V69 MOA Harrogate Red 2721 V74 MOA Vamooz 2722 W118 DOP Vamooz 2723 W119 DOP Vamooz 2724 W412 DOE Vamooz 2725 V78 MOA Vamooz 2726 V84 MOA Vamooz

Today's tweet announces 43 brand new buses this year to be split between Keighley, Harrogate & Burnley, most to be built in Yorkshire so assume mainly Optare. Specifics to be announced later.
