Hi, can your weekly passes be used on Square Peg buses? Thanks.
Clearly, not just Transdev that they have a problem communicating with!Hi, you'll need to talk to them on that as they don't talk to us.......!
Surely they should be able to answer that? It's their weekly pass which they issue and therefore they should know where it is valid. How don't they know where it's valid? Unprofessional response, which doesn't give me a great impression...This response on Connexions twitter amused me.

However, just like in all walks of life, there are always a few that seem to have that knack of rubbing others up the wrong way.
From the picture they look like Enviro200MMCs, and I'm taking a guess at them being dealer stock buys from the picture and the fact Transdev usually don't go near ADL products.New for the 42! Two brand new buses are coming to a bus stop near you, exclusive to the York & Country 42 York-Designer Outlet-Naburn-Cawood-Wistow-Selby-Drax. Keep watching!
Would appear there are new buses coming to York for the 42... https://twitter.com/yorkbus/status/1031281715367628801.

I think this is to plug the vehicle shortage being seen at the moment and to replace the highly unreliable darts. But no doubt we'll be told a few hundred times that this is all "amazing"....
Well any new bus will be an upgrade to an unreliable, old dart right?
Cue speculation.

I'm guessing they have gone for the ADL's as they are quick to get if dealer stock and a like for like replacement. Although if they wanted to stick to their usual Volvo or Optare supplies then surely Solo's would have been the right size for the route?
These may actually become the first vehicles in some form of York & Country two tone blue livery....although it looks from the pic they are white with some two tone blue branding applied.
Presumably Arriva Selby use a Solo on a Sunday?I believe Solo's were too heavy for Cawood Bridge once you applied any sort of typical load hence they had to go with ADL.
The Starbeck - Harrogate and Starbeck - Knaresborough weekly tickets will go up slightly, to £10.
I wouldn't call that 'slightly', I'm forced to buy a Starbeck - Harrogate every week and really, really wish they would do a cheaper ticket option that only covered Monday - Friday (or say 10 trips)...but they won't!
Tweeted photo of a 68 plate B5TL for Coastliner by Alex Hornby says that will be one of 29 new vehicles entering service next month so presumably sometime in Sept will see the new Electrics enter service in Harrogate.Any news as to when the electrics are going to be in service?

Not that long to go then for them to be introduced which is good news.Tweeted photo of a 68 plate B5TL for Coastliner by Alex Hornby says that will be one of 29 new vehicles entering service next month so presumably sometime in Sept will see the new Electrics enter service in Harrogate.
The lastest WYIS fleeytlist http://wyis.byethost17.com/Blazefield.pdf comments that 422-424, the 11 reg ones, are to be withdrawn during 2018. No comments re 427-429, the 62 reg ones. As 425 and 426 are with Rosso that's a probable destination for any which are being retained and become surplus at Malton.The 68 plate Volvo's for Coastliner presumably means that the B9TL will be transferred elsewhere in the Transdev empire, anyone up for any guesses?

Never take WYIS comments as gospel. They are not listing them as returning off lease which presumably means the present indication they are to go into storage at Intack, Blackburn.I think they're making a mistake withdrawing or returning buses after 6-7 years given the age and reliability of much of the fleet.
Elsewhere on Transdev's network it's a blanket fare hike, for the second time in under 9 months.
