‘First South Yorkshire’ (FSY) has recently started to re-paint its fleet in an approximation of the liveries of the major operators that made up the fleet when South Yorkshire PTE (which eventually became ‘FSY’) was launched in 1974.
These were the Corporation Transport Departments of Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield.
For those not familiar with the previous liveries they were,
Doncaster, mainly dark red with a purple trim, Rotherham, dark blue and cream and Sheffield azure blue and cream.
Dark red with a purple trim might seem a bit of an odd combination but it was smart, stylish and applied in an imaginative way (see final image).
