Thanks for that, typo on my part!!!

Fair point, it has been a few years since the thread was set up as such, maybe a show of hands (or posts!) as to if you would prefer separate threads (with Lancashire then being in the North West area of the forum) or leave it as it is.

Thank you

Its a strange one as some depots are in the North West however some is in Yorkshire

Most of the earlier Versas have had new numbers reported, but I still have YJ57 XWE as 267. Has this been renumbered?
With other Versas renumbered, does thus mean we have 2x 202s, or has T127 OAH been sold/renumbered?

I know at least some of 1853-71 are being transferred to Harrogate, but even if all go that's only 19 outgoing with 30 incoming. Does that mean a number of other buses will also be cascaded/sold?
And of these B7RLEs, is 1865 still at Burnley and if so how long is expected to remain in service there?

267 was returned at end of lease earlier this year, and is now with Centrebus.
202 is technically now 1022, but is withdrawn, so probably won't ever carry it.
The new Versas have replaced all the B10BLEs and B7RLEs in Mainline livery. The B7s are being retained and refurbished for use elsewhere within the Group, whilst the B10s are being advertised for sale. Therefore 1865 is no longer in use at Burnley, awaiting its turn for refurbishment and reallocation.

Had a trip to Burnley yesterday, noted all except 259. 273 was in service on a mainline working.

Transdev is running buses to Showbus on their VAMOOZ app. Departures from Harrogate, Leeds, Meadowhall, Burnley and Manchester. Prices start at £32.30 and go as low as £22.50 for a fully booked bus, including admission.

1. Can you find out the approximate scheduled departure times , and exact locations, before booking? Ideally, before giving ANY information such as Card details, out?
2. If the schedule changes such that it becomes impossible to connect with the bus, can you cancel and not be charged?

Indeed, how does the pricing work? Is it similar to booking Airline tickets, in that the longer you leave it, the price goes up or there are no seats left?

I do fancy going to Showbus, but for medical reasons, wouldn't be able to commit until late August, and even with the move to Donnington Park, its not possible by conventional public transport, unless you take out a second mortgage for a hotel room!

On the App it sates 06:30 from Burnley bus station and 07:30 from Deansgate opp Moon Under Water arriving at Showbus around 09:30

RE: Transdev Yorkshire & Lancashire
Transdev are introduced another CityZap route from Leeds and this time, it's coming across the Pennines, running to Manchester. This will provide an express bus service between Leeds and Manchester via the motorways in a similar way to the existing CityZap route between Leeds and York via the M1 and A64.

CityZap 2 will be operated from Burnley depot and will start from 5 November.

That is going to require a rediculous amount of dead running to provide that service!

Not unless they use the Witchway as a ferry bus.
