Effective from the January 2017 4XY changes, Arriva owned a Yorkshire Tiger will take over the running of the following services currently operated by Stagecoach and TM Travel in the Barnsley and Rotherham areas:
7 (Barnsley) 23/24 (Barnsley) 72 (Rotherham) 203 (Barnsley) 220 Wath - Cortonwood ONLY (Rotherham)
Given the vast majority of drivers currently at Waterloo depot are previous Tates Travel employees, route learning shouldn't be too much of a problem.
At this stage it is currently unknown what will be happening with the 92 service as part of the Barnsley Bus Partnership launch in January 2017, although the current 25 (Penistone - Holmfirth) and 29 (Sheffield - Penistone) services will combine together and be operated by TM Travel.

rumor has it that Tiger are looking for a place to operate out of Barnsley due to the cost of dead milage and the fact that most of the drivers are from the Barnsley area it would save time, So lets have a stab in the dark and see if they share a yard with Globe or Mr Mallison all x Tates

Wasn't Tiger recently fined for non complience of operation? Seems SYPTE will just give the cash to anyone these days... Looking at the state of some of the Tiger fleet in Huddersfield/Halifax at the moment, they even make Tates look decent!

If you read the list properly, you will see it's just the Cortonwood to Wath section of the route - which has received public subsidy for many years now. What was the former 64 and then the 200 Manvers Shuttle. As a consequence of the loss of this and the 7 around Pilley - the 67 will be enhanced to a half hourly operation throughout the daytime.

Sypte have not done bad them to say they did not have any money, so were they lying to operators that that currently run in order to try and make them come out and say that they would run these commercially and because they did not the pte found money and gave it to another big operator, i'm sure in the conseltation it was to go to local community transport or similar, no mention of Tiger/Arriva

Tigers reputation on vehicle condition is renowned in the recovery business.....
