That's correct - Enviro400s 10811-10865 are actually part of this year's order but they were delivered early. 10811-10843 were delivered to Merseyside (Gillmoss) and 10844-10865 were delivered to Manchester (Middleton) Are all eighteen of the StreetLites for Ecclesfield or are some going to another depot in the area? Hopefully Olive Grove gets some new buses again this year as well

Ecclesfield ain't getting streetlite's their getting Enviro 400mmc's please read the docoument attached to my last comment The presently known allocations for the most recent Stagecoach order do not indicate that any double deckers are on order for Yorkshire. There are five which are unaccounted for but as far as I'm aware they are standard diesel variants and not the hybrids which are mentioned in the document I have already read the document you shared and it states on Page 32 (note 30) that the vehicles used will be a mix of single and double deck vehicles. The batch of "micro hybrid" StreetLites are definitely on order for Yorkshire (I read this on another site and posted by a reliable contributor) but it was not said which depot or routes they are I don't know which depots run which routes so I thought I'd ask to see if anyone else knew

Does anyone know if the First Group order has been announced? It'll be interesting to see where the Galashiels fleet gets cascaded too. Anything newer as long as it's not more Optare Solos would be welcomed to replace some of the shall we say elderly vehicles at Donny. You'd hope that a good 20 deckers end up at Doncaster to allow the X78 to be upgraded and lose the Tridents and surplus B9s to transfer to Sheffield for some of their relics to disappear. However, I've got a feeling that SY might not get anything at all. Isn't it a couple of weeks away as far as any announcement goes?

The Streetlites are all for Ecclesfield and will be generally used on service 1. No new buses for service 120 that I'm aware of.
The only other vehicle on order for Yorkshire are 6 short wheelbase E200MMCs for service 32 in Barnsley and 3 coaches for Nat Ex work in Chesterfield.

I think the chance of Doncaster getting any more new buses in the near future is slim to non existent. To be honest, replace the remaining Tridents with some Mid life B9s and have the 55/X78 fully B9, keep a few ALXs for 87s and everything else would be fine single deck operated in Doncaster. It's alright saying Donny have got loads of deckers but there are examples that you wouldn't even bet on making it to Thorne never mind Sheffield Not much chance of cascading B9s is there when they have been uprated to Euro 5 paid for by Sheffield City Council and the PTE. What you have got is yours so sort them out so they will operate further afield.

Be able to breath better up East Bank once those MANs have gone.

I wasn't meaning B9s from Sheffield but elsewhere in group, there's 12 at Galashiels which are going to be going somewhere. Those York 608/609s are absolutely horrendous with corrosion underneath but then they want rid of the troublesome Tridents and the 622xxs which on the whole run okay but are just rough. Very true. Fingers crossed eh?.
