Transdev The Burnley Bus Company B7BVD 2706 seen passing Albert Square, Manchester on "WitchWay" X43 to Burnley
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.

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 four B10BLEs presently operating from York depot in Harrogate livery with 'York & Country' branding, PO51MUP (1091) is seen as it arrives at Easingwold market place with the 11:25 Helmsley-York 31X.
Transdev began operating the 29, 31, and 31X routes on a commercial basis on 22/01/18 after Stephensons ceased trading two days previously. Service changes at the end of April introduced better coordination with Reliance's 30 and 40 services, measures which included the 29 passing to Reliance with an improved timetable and 31 being reduced to a single journey, leaving Alne and Tollerton with the 30 for much of the day. Transdev thus presently operate hourly between York and Easingwold with extensions to Helmsley every two or three hours, mostly using the number 31X.

Current vehicles on Transdev's former Stephensons rural routes heading northwards from York are a colourful bunch of former Harrogate and Burnley Versas dating from 2012. These drifted eastwards from August onwards to replace the majority of ex Harrogate B10BLEs and ex Blackburn Versas which had been operating these routes. One has even been outshopped in the long-awaited 'York & Country' livery which was unveiled as the 'brand' for these services shortly after Transdev took them on.
YJ12MZN (207) was captured at Stittenham on the 09:00 York-Malton 181 this morning. The 181 differs from the 31X and 194 in that it did not immediately pass from Stephensons to Transdev, but was instead contracted to Connexions for a month or so.
