I have noticed Metrobuses BXY115/8V have been withdrawn on the sightseeing network.
Any replacements due ?

They were withdrawn at the end of the 2009 summer season.

I think he means for the tour bus which must be going ahead bearing in mind that Leeds is supposed to be a better city than Manchester (yer right), and Leeds doesn't have a tour bus unlike Manchester which does.

Obviously, but still, he is clutching at straws. There are a number of vehicles available out there that could operate the service (if it does go ahead) not just these 2. |

It's only a small operation so there isn't going to be constant vehicle movements is there.

Yorkshire Coastliner B7TL 404 has now been transferred to York with no replacement for Malton. This i hear could be displacing B7RLE 450 (apparently they need a double deck for capacity enhancements) to join the other 5 in Keighley.
Before anyone asks there are no B10's or any other fleet changes due for York that i'm aware of.

Yeah, but has had legal lettering changed from Yorkshire Coastliner to Top Line Travel T/A Transdev York. As it will be used principally on 844 Leeds - York - Heworth or 743 Leeds - York express - it would have to have the route map on the rear for Bridlington/Scarborough changed to reflect that.

I think the name is changing to Transdev York East Coast.

Isn't the website just there to have information on York local services, "Coastliner" and City Sightseeing services in one place? Don't think it means a name change in to York & East Coast. |

This bus was repainted into LU a while ago as far back to at least November as can be seen from this link. www.flickr.com/photos/thespian/4141092505/This bus is painted in a varied version. I think this bus was in BUSES Magazine May or Aprils edition. |

Y152 HRN is a Spare bus anyway so can be used anywhere.
