Apologies if this has been answered already - what is the reason for the swap of E400's /B9's OG-DO? Seems non-standard at DO for these? The 337**s (other than 725) aren't euro6 for the clean air zone in Sheffield, so they're being swapped with buses that are. In other words as happens everytime Sheffield come up with one of these schemes the polluting buses are sent to Doncaster so we can choke on the fumes while Sheffield people get the clean air.  |

It's all madness. That's Sheffield City Clowncil for you! |

In other words as happens everytime Sheffield come up with one of these schemes the polluting buses are sent to Doncaster so we can choke on the fumes while Sheffield people get the clean air. They’re hardly polluting. Visually you wouldn’t normally tell the difference between a bus that’s Euro 4, 5 or 6. Myself I’d rather have a bus without the Eminox exhaust mod which they have to make them Euro 6. It’s not like the days of smoky old B7TLs (and older buses). Apart from 66962-69214 which are Euro 3 and 69245-248 Euro 4, everything at Doncaster is now either Euro 5 or Euro 6. |

63026 very bumpy ride, think the shock absorbers need replacing, deafening bangs when it goes over a pothole, bless it.

13 Streetlites transferring from Southampton to FSY today from the 630xx batch. If these are in City Red livery, maybe they could go to Doncaster and keep City Red Livery and some of the Doncaster based Streetlites move to Olive Grove |

If these are in City Red livery, maybe they could go to Doncaster and keep City Red Livery and some of the Doncaster based Streetlites move to Olive Grove They are all City Red livery, formerly branded for Southampton's service 3. Looks like 63048 and 63051 are coming up for definite (their ticket machines have been programmed with Sheffield routes on Bustimes) and suggestions also of 63049/50/52/54/55/56/57/58/59/60/66 to follow them. 63051 is currently "tracking" it's way up the M1: bustimes.org/vehicles/fhdo-63051?date=2023-02-25# |
