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.

Famous quotes containing the word fleet:
“Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
“They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“On the middle of that quiet floor
sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
