Transdev Keighley has lost work to local independents of late, possibly something of a wake up call from sleeping slumber some would say. For the first time this year they have won some Dalesbus work however which involves the Ilkley - Bolton Abbey / Draughton - Skipton routes which they have never previously operated over for many years. Here their 708 reaches Hare Head Side on Halton Moor Summit about to then start its descend into Eastby & Embsay. The last rays of a sunny December Sunday catch the moors looking West.
Transdev's new electric fleet is operating in what's described as 'pilot' mode (ie not fully rolled out). This is because of problems with the new charging installation at the bus station, limiting the opportunities for top up charging throughout the day. Presumably the contractor who put the infrastructure in will be responsible for rectifications, and I hope the contract includes a penalty clause! "Not in Service" indeed.

Service changes in York earlier this month saw Transdev replace Arriva as operater on council-funded local routes 24, 25, and 26. The services require four vehicles, and Transdev are meeting this requirement using five new baby E200MMCs. This view sees YW19VUL (755) weaving its way along Sowerby Road in Holgate with the 14:01 24 from the city centre to Acomb.
One of two E200MMCs introduced in September 2018, YX18KZG (727) is seen on its way out of Naburn as it works the 10:15 York-Drax 42.
The present iteration of the 42 came about in October 2017 when the previously separate Selby-Cawood-York (42) and Selby-Drax (8) routes amalgamated. Prior to the sudden demise of Utopia Coaches that August, the Cawood route had operated at a minimum of a bus per hour, provided by the 420 between York and Selby, and 422 between York and Pontefract. The 8, meanwhile, offered a bus every two hours. The fall of Utopia left a gap and, although Transdev stepped in on the 8, the Cawood route was left to an in-house NYCC minibus operating as route 426 several times per day as well as an Arriva peak working between Stillingfleet and York operating as an X26 in the morning and 26 in the evening. The 42 offers a bus every ninenty minutes, providing Drax with an increased frequency and new links to York, and the villages of Cawood and Stillingfleet with something approaching the service levels they enjoyed when Utopia were still around. Saturday evening and Sunday buses operating between Selby and York as a 42S were introduced under Arriva in May 2018 with funding via the Parish Transport Initiative.
Following reliability issues with ageing MPDs, Transdev are presently deploying two leased E200MMCs with branding for the 42. These carry the 'York & Country' motif which was created to cover the work salvaged from the closure of Stephensons in January 2018, rather than the 'Little Explorers' branding used on the 22 which the 42 initially was brought under.
