Anyone know what happened to the Versas? I thought they might have been put straight into service like the E200's did at Wakey and then they'd take one at a time out of service to do repaints and ect.

Because they've had the luggage racks removed and upseated, they're waiting for the new paperwork for them, so can't go in service until they have that. It's same with transdevs versas, but opposite way round, they can't fit the luggage racks until they have the paperwork for them

Will 1409 be staying at Selby or will it be moving up to wakey eventually? Just seems a little odd that they only have one commander there

Quick question: Since More of BI's E400's went to Hecky for the 268 to be Sapphired, what will happen to the rest of the 58 plates ones? I know some went to the North East, I think 5 or 6 went could be wrong? Will they stay at Hecky for other routes like 229 or 200/201 or will they go to BI or even ANE? Just curious that's all.

They'll possible stay at Hecky for now to help with duplicates or as dedicated vehicles for the school runs Hecky depot runs or could go to Belle Isle to help till the rest of tue Streetdecks arrive and then go on to ANE afterwards.

They have changed the plan now since the street deck order was cancelled so now it is the 229 to get sapphire because there wasnt enough to cover the 268

Why would they send more 400's to Hecky, if they weren't getting more streetdecks?

Why would they send more 400's to Hecky, if they weren't getting more streetdecks? Wakefield kept hold of more than they needed, but now have 7 e 400 and 11 street decks so enough for the 110 which had 18 before they got any street decks. The other e 400 ones went to heckie but because 7 street decks never arrived it means they would be 7 short for putting the 268 to sapphire so it is 229 instead now because that uses less buses. I dont have this from any official sause but it checks out if you look at what the e 400 have been on today at heckie

Just wondering if the E200mmcs that arriva has are either being kept on in the fleet and will get a repaint soon or will they be given to a different company? I saw a bit of paper at the front of one of the E200mmcs but I didnt know what it said

I saw a bit of paper at the front of one of the E200mmcs but I didnt know what it said Arriva will probably want to keep them as when the time comes they are ideal replacements for the commanders but at the moment, they need commanders for school runs and dupe journeys. They got put into service instead of repainted like the evos did probably because they needed more buses urgently for schools and extra journey im guessing.

Guess it’s so people who are expecting an Arriva bus know that it is an Arriva service? General public may not realise they are part of same group. Could also be needed if they’ve not change the legals? In Caldaire days they used to use the “On hire to” when a bus was being used from a depot of a different operating company, which would usually be one with the same Wakefield head office address. I would have expected to see “On loan to Arriva Yorkshire” on the E200MMCs

I think that notice is backwards way round. It should say who they are on loan to, not from Although I think they've changed the legals, so it isn't required at all

ON LOAN TO ARRIVA in big letters would get some people thinking it is their bus.

Does anyone know if 3020 is at Wakefield now from Tiger or whatever it was? As apparently it's on the 148?
