47281 and 47282 should now be at Ecclesfield, and 47280 should soon be setting off for Chesterfield.
(Same driver that moved one to Ecclesfield is moving the the Chesterfield one)

I'd imagine 47280 will get some new blinds before it sees service at Chesterfield.
Does anyone know where Cummins Solo 47423 is likely to go (if anywhere), was it perhaps with the 4 EYGs at Chesterfield for repaint?

Isn't that one going to SCT for the 61/62/64? Or TM for the 201? Nobody seemed to have mentioned that particular bus (47423).

No, it's Stagecoach owned along with 47425/6/7/8. YC51GZW/X and YL02FKU/V were the only PTE buses, obviously the latter two now aren't, as they are passing to TM for non-201 work.
Like you say, no-one has mentioned anything about 47423, perhaps it will just stop at Ecclesfield as a fourth spare Solo for the TF1 (although that seems a bit like overkill).

I think it was mensioned, only reason why 47280-3 are coming here is so they can comply with the coridoor requirments on service 29 and 265. Obviously 47423 can comply with these.

47423-is this a Stagecoach or Yorkshire Traction standard bus? For Example it has red seas, rather than Stagecoach Standard.
Is 47428 going out of Sheffield along with 47424-47427. I am sure I read only 47424-47427 are going to Barnsley???
Did I read it right, or wrong?

I would imagine 47428 will go along with 47425/6/7 (there is no 47424). |

According to the Yahoo YTC group, 47428 - W303EYG has gone to Chesterfield along with 47280 - YS02WWE 47423 is YTC style, red seats, green hand-rails. I would imagine 47428 will go along with 47425/6/7 (there is no 47424). |
