DAF SB220 East Lancs Myllennium 26109 (W479MKU) has been damaged by an engine fire (Seen in the photo on the Right operating in Sheffield). New Magic Bus Service 22 Starts on Monday 30/04/12. This will be operated by Dennis Dart SLF Plaxton Pointer I 33083 (1619 HE P979LNB) and Dennis Dart SLF East Lancs Sprytes 33227/33232/3 (1737 HE R127TWF, 1909 HE S132XHE, 3880 HE S133XHE).

Tate's Travel Group

Volvo B10M-55 Alexander PS 1204/1621 (M204LHP/L621TDY) has been withdrawn and scrapped along with Volvo B6LE Alexander ALX200 1345 (P345JND). Expected to follow are the other Volvo B6LEs in the fleet however this maybe delayed due to this operater winning servral contractings onbehalf of Metro (West Yorkshire PTE) in Wakefield from 28/04/2012 in compertition with Arrivas services in the area and on the Wakefield-Ryhill & Wakefield-Hall Green corridors. It was orringally expected that new vehicles would be on fleet before now however nothing has been said or heard. L621TDY is seen in Staincross operating the 97 (Barnsley-Wakefield). This was on of the better buses in the fleet of Tate's Travel and its a shame to see it been withdrawn. What a beast it was.
