It is rumoured there maybe some Enviro 200 vehicles on order for route 1 to ease overcrowded buses on this route. These if the rumours are true should arrive between September-December and carry 62 however non of thats confermed. Currently on the Barnsley Townlines network the frequancy is every 10 minutes Monday to Saturday day and every 30 minutes Evening & Sundays

Many vehicles became unbranded in late 2011 when the repaint program occured repainting all Optare Solo M920/M950s. Now its the MAN 18.240 HOCL-NR A69s turn which currently has left all bus 1 (22449) Branded for the 11 and will one day see 57/59 branded 22618/9/27/28 repainted also. The Enviro 200s branded for 93/95 have only recently been branded but all look supurb. 36181 is missing some of the line across the doors but thats all.
