Arriva are not the firm they once was years of lack of investment from DB shows could also be reluctance invest with franchising on the horizon.
This is probably true. Time to cut the chord.

Another Eclipse Gemini 2, 1701, has been withdrawn for scrap.
Now that Arriva has withdrawn the 51, how long does 663 have? Its Arriva Yorkshire's last Evolution, based at Selby. It was a mainstay on the Now withdrawn 51, are it's days numbered?

Probably until it breaks down or the MOT finishes I would think

Due to the reduced road width caused by the installation of a new cycle lane, Arriva along with First are pulling off buses from Whitehall Road in Leeds from September.
Arriva 229, 254 & 255 will now use Wellington Street, Inner Ring Road, Armley Gyratory & Ingram Distributor instead between King Street and Domestic Street. First services 55, 65, 75 will do similar.

Also allegedly going to Yorkshire are 5 former NXWM Streetdecks currently under refurbishment in Blackburn.

I've seen a report that NXWM Streetdeck are going to Merseyside.
According to Tony on the West Midlands Bus Forum, they are due for Merseyside, and he did say there was a change of plan on where they was meant to go. Perhaps they was meant to go to Yorkshire, but possibly height issues prevented that with Yorkshire's streetdecks being low height

Arriva Merseyside have a large fleet of Gemini 2DLs and newer StreetDecks, most of which are low-height (the ex-London 777x examples, used for Rail Replacement work, are the exception). I wonder if they will release five of the low-heights to Yorkshire?

Theyll most likely free up E400s at Green Lane to replace the 58 plate examples at Speke.
For some time it seemed that plans for procuring 47 electric buses through West Yorkshire's share of ZEBRA 1 were dropped, and as of the 22 July bus franchising update that's been (indirectly) confirmed. From page 3:

B7RLE Eclipse Urban 1112 has been removed from service.

Suspect quite a few will transfer after franchising starts.

My Protection for if Arriva Yorkshire gets new buses for are as the following depots that might get the new buses
First the 22 e400mmcs Will be split between Selby & Castleford
13 for Selby to replace the 59 Regs VDL DB300 Wright Gemini 2s
9 for Castleford to replace the 58 Regs Enviro400s
now on to the 28 e200mmcs
5 for Selby to replace 14 Regs Enviro200s
10 for Castleford to replace 09/10 Regs Enviro200s
10 for Wakefield to replace 58 Regs VDL SB200 Wright Pulsars
(again, My Protection Are Just Rumoured not confirmed by Arriva's Procurement Manager)
rumoured from this Post this due to Arriva's Procurement Manager also mentions new E200MMCS and e400mmcs due for someone by end of the year

Richard Yoxall is the engineering person in question, and has posted on LinkedIn that there are 58 diesel ADL E200 and E400 MMC coming "for the regions". It will be interesting to see where they end up, as there's quite a few locations that are in desperate need of investment in the group.

Hmmm.... I think you may rather optimistic that as many of those will end up in Yorkshire (mentions the regions) and that Selby might get 5 new e200mmcs to replace 14 plates? There are many other locations whose need is more pressing.
Hybrids, e200s, and 58 plate e400s are leaving the fleet.
Heckmondwike are due 5 e400s from the North West. That should allow 1894 and 1895 to be withdrawn and the last 2 B7RLEs to leave Heckmondwike.
The 58 plate Pulsars are staying, for at least another year, they've all had new MOT's recently.
Volvo B7RLEs 1110 and 1111, should stay in the fleet till April to cover for repaints as floater buses
Selby won't get any e200mmcs as these will be more than likely the full length variants, you can't replace the minis with long e200mmcs on some of their routes, besides, 2 short MMCs have replaced 3 e200minis at Selby, and those minis have gone to Heckmondwike and Wakefield.

I was thinking that, unless tender requirements demand otherwise, the Selby routes aren't probably that lucrative to justify new vehicles especially when there is a need across the country for investment. Perhaps some of the mmcs elsewhere in Yorkshire might move across?
