3/62....Dan Smith of Darfield with a stage licence for Wombwell-Darfield and three coaches (a Foden PVSC6, a Leyland CPO1 Comet, and a Guy Arab LUF). The Foden and the Comet were not operated by YTC but the Arab LUF (NDA 14) lasted until 1966 as YTC fleet number 136. 8/62....Tom Roberts of Barnsley with E&T licences and a single Tiger Cub coach.

1/64....W Pickerill & Sons of Low Valley with a stage licence from Wombwell to Darfield (see Dan Smith above) and three coaches (a late model Commer Avenger I, a Ford 570E, and a Bedford SB5). Predictably the Avenger I was not used by YTC.

5/65....The stage service (from Higham to Barnsley) of JW Mosley & Sons of Barugh Green. Mosley continued in business as a coach operator and no vehicles were included.

10/66...T Burrows & Son of Wombwell's stage carriage assets including an impressive stage service from the Wombwell area to Barnsley, Wakefield, and Leeds and 12 vehicles, all double-deck buses. Burrows continued as a coach operator.

4/67....Robert Taylor & Sons of Cudworth (operating stage services as part of the "Ideal" syndicate). The "Ideal" service ran from Upton to Barnsley. Taylor's vehicles were not included and were sold separately.

10/69...Arthur Rowe & Sons of Cudworth - stage services from the Cudworth area to Barnsley only. Rowe's last two "stage" vehicles, both Tiger Cub buses (a Saro bodied example from SDO and a Willowbrook bodied vehicle from EMMS) were not included in the deal and Rowe continued as a coach and contract hire operator.

Independents acquired by YTC in the 1970s included

4/74...H Wray & Sons of Hoyle Mill (the other partner in the "Ideal" syndicate).
