Also note that besides the school buses the service buses are logically keeping the last two digits so 452 becomes 1752 Except the four Blackburn Valley Line B10BLEs which will be renumbered consecutively with no regard to their former numbers other than two retain their last digit.

Preview of the new Cityzap buses post by Alex: Not sure about attention to detail ... they've put the headrests on the wrong chairs 🤣 I get the opposite headrests, but the red leatherette on the sides of the seats is completely different to the headrest? Also the red stripe down the side of the bus doesn't look right. Hope there's some vinyl still to be added.

According to everyone's favourite and most accurate bus tracking website, (presumably) one of the Burnley E400MMCs is tracking on bustimes. I'll wait to get an official confirmation before believing it though.

I'll wait to get an official confirmation before believing it though. Its incorrect, its likely the "Old" 2012 (Trident LN51 GKE), due to be renumbered to 2807 within the coming days, with the new E400MMCs taking the 20xx fleet numbers. Seems someones already put the new fleet detail into the website.

Further to the above post, as mentioned many vehicles will be renumbered within the fleet system within the next week or so to accomodate new vehicles joining in the future

And the vehicle currently showing is 2011 rather than 2012.

Does anybody know if R100 TDV is set to leave the fleet with the rest of the Geminis when the WitchWays move to hotline?

Forgive me if this seems nonsensical but a somewhat official staff source gave me the idea that Coastliner are to be given some ex-Witchway or ZAP geminis and have their Gemini 3s moved elsewhere, just wondering if anyone else had heard similar and what the Coastliners would move onto?

They were expecting to receive 3 ex-Witch Way geminis to replace 427-429 As you will note 427-429 have already left, the temporary Covid timetable not needing the full number of buses as normal

I can't see the old 53 plate Geminis been used on Coastliner full-time the same for the 05 Geminis on on Hotline especially with York CAZ still going ahead but can see the 05 regs possibly going to Keighley

2796 finally came out to play on Aireline on Tuesday. All six are in service today so if you need photos, and have an hour and a half to spare, go and stand between Greengates and Rodley. You won't get much else but you will get all six of these today.

Does anyone know which B9 it was that ended up in the serious collision on the Witchway route back in late October? Looks near right off to me

No, it'll just be driver test runs. If you see in the tweet it doesn't launch until the 13th (this Sunday)

The old CityZap buses will probably be doing very little, they're 17 or 18 years old now and pretty knackered after a hard life, which is why their reliability has been poor. The old WitchWay buses are being cascaded, I think that HotLine is getting some of them but I'm not sure where the others are going. AireLine rings a bell, maybe?

It won't be Aireline as 2791-2796 have just been fully refurbished and upgraded.
I believe Dalesway is the Keighley route which was due ex Witch Way vehicles although I think the one which had the bad accident could have been one earmarked for Keighley so who knows.

Quick question, did Transdev receive the cityzap geminis just for the cityzap or did they have them before cityzap as I've tried to search the original registrations and found nothing Thanks

They had mainly YC53 reg's before they were refurbished when they then received X*VTD registrations. Reregistered then to the ZAP registrations when they moved to Cityzap. I think 3601 to 3606 are now back on their original registrations and were part of the same batch.

I'm not sure that the B5TLs on the 36 should be referred to as 'Streetdecks'. All the info is on wyis.org.uk.

No not Streetdecks, Gemini 3 bodied Volvo's but I think everyone probably knew what I meant.
