Anyone any ideas what buses will be moving this weekend from halfway to rotherham? i know the 4 olympians at halfway are moving to olive grove probabilly monday, but what b10m's are leaving halfway for rotherham and olive grove for rotherham?
Cheers, Dave

Indeed Olympians 30546, 30548 and 30549 (N301/3/4JBV) were seen back out on Olive Grove Stocksbridge services 57 and 58 throughout the day. Must say, they look a lot better since they were regulars on these route when they were previously at Olive Grove, far better than the Barbie 2 colours and provide quite a comparison when I saw one near 30550 earlier (still in B2)

30550 will remain in B2 until the rear advert 'expires' i would guess. For reference, 30547 seems to have been used on the 'Derbyshires' since it spent a fair proportion of its day at OG.
If nothing else at least one member on here should be delighted by the extra Olympians going through a certain area of Sheffield beginning with W!

Just spotted M736 VET in eastwood, on the x78, this bus as led blinds, and the sheffield return red sticker as being removed, but no green rotherham sticker applied as o yet, so im taking it now that M736/7 VET have moved from olive grove depot to rotheham, so if anyone else spot's the othe 2 VET b10m buses that have moved from olive grove to rotherham please let me know.

Indeed M736VET and M737VET were on the X78 (both with LED) plus M734VET and M735VET both must have transfered as they were out on more local Rotherham work (sorry can't remember what, not X78 though!).

So that means that, M718/19/34/35/36/37 VET are now all rotherham buses along with G607 NWA, H668/69 THL and maybe a few more halfway b10m's that i have forgotten about, and the olympians have now moved back to olive grove from halfway.

Well if 734-7 have moved to Rotherham then thats that sorted out. LED buses seem an odd choice though (for OGs perspective that is). Somewhere in this mix seems to be 738, as if i recall 739 and 740 went to Doncaster. Wouldn't seem likely that 738 would be left as 'odd man out'.
Of course what could have happened is that OG has transferred more B10Ms than needed to cover 30546-9 arriving. That potentially means Doncaster have sent no 'X78s' to Rotherham and thus have replaced the Darts at Rotherham. In turn these would then be redundant following the extra B10Ms!?
We'll see, should know for sure soon.
As for ex-Halfway B10Ms, you've covered them. Apart from the M-VETs, only 607 and 668/9 were at HW.

And for reference, i would assume if 607 is transferred its time in service may be short. Indeed, the chance may have been taken to transfer it to the driving school programme. Keep an eye out guys!

OK then, thanks guys. Looks like plenty of B10Ms at Rotherham then!
Next thing to watch for is the fate of the Darts at RO.

If you mean those Plaxton bodied one (ex Bristol looking at the registrations ?) I saw two of them in Rotherham yesterday - N---KAE and a L--VHU (I think ?) one. Both looked quite tidy, and at least the N reg one has an Orange LED display, suggesting some money has been spent on them recently ? YTCB. |

I saw an L reg one today on the 37 packed full, was at the bottom of whinney hill in dalton, but did not manage to get the rest of the registration, but they are still running around, also good to see rotherham have got 754/5/6 back and good to see 607/688/689/718/719 and 734/5/6/7 joining the rotherham fleet..

735 was also on the x78 this afternoon, and still as the sheffield etuns stickers in the windows, and on the drivers cab door.
