69461 off fleet at Olive tonight, should be transferring to Doncaster. how come though they have moved around considerably 69461-64 , thought they were now staying at OG ? surely doncaster not short after the 375s they gained recently. No one said Doncaster was short, the same as no one has said what is earmarked to depart Doncaster. A lot more than 69461 earmarked to move |

Apparently someone complained there was too many single decks in Sheffield. can see why if did comparison on how many deckers in the og fleet compared to singles considerable ammount of singles compared to deckers from Leicester 63250, 63350-55 , 69438 -42 , Manchester 69521-28 &30 the ex bath ones too plus the 63048- 52 54-60 & 66 |

A lot more than 69461 earmarked to move what moving to og ? from Don Nothing to my knowledge but some vehicles earmarked to move out of DO down south. I would assume the recent Streetdecks that Olive have inherited from Leeds is releasing vehicles out of Olive |

I would assume the recent Streetdecks that Olive have inherited from Leeds is releasing vehicles out of Olive AFAIK the Streetdecks are replacements for the Enviro 400s. I suspect the 6946x's will be transferred to Doncaster, with 695xx's coming to OG from Rochdale. Also believe that approx. 20 Streetlites (eclipse branded ones) are due to move up to OG from Portsmouth, Fareham & Gosport in return for the electric Kite's currently being stored. |

It's also worth noting that 69461's transfer didn't go ahead as planned the other night and it's still being used from Sheffield.
Lots of fleet changes due to happen, the whole FSY fleet is going to look very different once it's all complete.

Rochdale's Eclipses coming in to displace the old Leicester Eclipses makes a lot of sense, big fan of the ex-Bristol Airport ones in particular, but what's the thinking behind the Portsmouth Streetlites? I don't think that'll go down very well if they're coming to help replace B9s and E400s |

I don't think that'll go down very well if they're coming to help replace B9s and E400s The Streetlites already work interchangably with the B9s and E400s on routes such as 51 and 52a. It should be an adequate replacement. The Streetlites perform better on hills than the E400s too. The only B9 being replaced anyway is YNO7MLE which has suffered engine failure. |

Over the next few years, all the B9s will no doubt be replaced, as has been case with several of them across both South Yorkshire depots, not just YN07MLE (not to mention others across the First Group). Off top of my head I can recall 37105/106/107/228/259/478/484 which have been scrapped or heavily cannibalised now and will not return to service. |

There are a number of OG vehicles to move to Doncaster: off the top of my head 36203/4/36246-50/37552/63107/108/69461-64 with possibility some more |

I think adequete is a bit of strong word, it's undoubtedly a capacity decrease if Streetlites step in to gradually replace B9s over the next few years. But then I find FSY's disregard for allocations barring the 120 and X routes baffling |
