.....and confirmed on Twitter today that Aireline will be returning to double deck operation, wonder if these Red Express buses will be used until Witch Way buses can be cascaded. Wi-fi and USB promised to remain in place either way with more news soon.

Wi-fi and USB promised to remain in place either way with more news soon. Another day, another announcement, Dalesway also moving to double deck operation shortly. Looking at the tweet it mentions bigger buses with even better buses coming at the end of the year. Maybe B7RLE's now with deckers when they become available? That leaves up to 10 Versa's free, getting close to airport requirements?

The PVR for the Airport services is 10, 5 on 757 and 5 between the 737/747. Obviously you'd need a suitably kitted out spare too.

The full-size Versa with standard seating configuration seats 44, so I'm surprised that they would be able to count a B7RLE as "bigger". The blurb on the website talks about double-deckers, and the graphics show double-deckers, so it looks like whatever is coming in the short-term is going to be some second-hand deckers, before they get the new buses later in the year.

Keighleys Versas are 41 seaters against 44 seat Volvo's but believe me having commuted on Aireline for 2 years the Volvo's feel like aircraft hangers by comparison to the cramped conditions on the Versa. It has now been confirmed that the Dalesway will be using the ex Red Express deckers in the short term. Aireline looks like it will have refurbished ex Coastliner & Rosso Volvo B9's based on a Twitter pic posted of a newly painted Aireline decker yesterday. This post also confirmed new seating & ceilings on these revitalized buses and wifi and usb's have also been promised on the original tweet. The website also talks about supercharging them for lower emissions, obviously needed for the Leeds low emission zone if this ever comes in.

The Aireline deckers have had the twitter route launching treatment are indeed the ex coastliner deckers transferred over from Rosso and have gained the V*XTD plates from 3601-3614 by the looks of it

It looks like yesterday, 6th August, may have been the final day of Versa operation on Aireline. All workings today so far are either Gemini's or B7RLE's. 240 is still out and about today on the 62 so I guess that could possibly slip onto the 60 later. They are running out of time to get all the Versa's converted for the airport routes by the end of the month so it was bound to happen sooner rather than later.

Is the 464 operated by the Blackburn Bus Company or Rosso? bustimes claims it operates out of Intack depot

Post by dlspotter on Aug 7, 2020 15:48:54 GMT 1
Also is 2764 (PO55 PYL Pride of the North) operated from Malton or York as it's been on bustimes on both the ZAP and 843

Third and final question - is the ex. Red Express 3602 (YC53 MXN) at Malton?

Post by stephen01 on Aug 7, 2020 16:15:54 GMT 1
dlspotter, 464 is Rosso route but operated out of Intack i believe. 2764 is at York and could be on either Cityzap or 843 but more than likely Cityzap. Don't always believe what bustimes says as its never accurate or right

Third and final question - is the ex. Red Express 3602 (YC53 MXN) at Malton? some of the old Red Express & 36 geminis of which 3602 is one, have recently started at Keighley for Dalesway (66) route

And its the data off the ticket machine which gives some oddities when a machine is moved and not reset like School B10BLE 1024 apparently having seen service on Harrogate Route 1 services and earlier this year one of those School B10BLEs having been apparently on the 36.
