Fleet
In early 2006, the company became 100% low-floor when six Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini entered service, the original intention having been to have seven (the last one was diverted to Harrogate & District). In 2008, Yorkshire Coastliner replaced all of its single-deck B7RLEs and some older double-deckers with 10 new Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini. The whole Yorkshire Coastliner service was being run with double-deckers from Summer 2008. However, in 2009 several Optare Versa single-deck buses were transferred to Transdev York from other Transdev subsidiaries to allow for the operation of new routes 743/844 to compete against First's new X64 route from Leeds to York.
