I am aware that the Haymarket area together with its small bus station are being re-developed so I thought it best to get some images before the buses were crowded out by ‘dozers and diggers’.
FD02 UKR
A DAF DB250 with East Lancs Lowlander bodywork working for ‘Arriva Midlands’ (AM).
FD02 UKT
Another of the same wearing a revised, newer livery from the one above.
TUI 7938 (formerly FJ56 OBF)
A Volvo B7TL with Wright Eclipse Gemini bodywork wearing the ‘Arriva’ Sapphire livery that is relevant in Leicester.
Prior to its re registration it worked in Leicester in the ‘turn up and go’ livery. I presume that it has been re registered to disguise its age.
KP51 WBY
A Volvo B7TL with Alexander ALX 400 bodywork working for ‘First Leicester’.
Barbie was still hanging on in there...!
SN58 CHC
A Dennis Trident fitted with Alexander Dennis Ltd. (ADL) Enviro 400 bodywork.
It used to work in London for ‘First Capital’ before being cascaded North.
Route branded for service 74 to Anstey.
I think the branding makes what is otherwise a poor livery look quite attractive.
V159 EFS
A Dennis Dart SLF with Plaxton Pointer 2 bodywork.
Wearing a non standard ‘Centrebus’ (Cb) livery, the white element being missing.
It was part of the ‘Kimes of Folkingham’ (KoF) fleet that was taken over by ‘Cb’ in 2011 and originally entered service in Leicester in ‘KoF’ livery prior to being repainted.
YJ61 CHO
An Optare Versa working for ‘AM’.
V120 LVH
An Optare Solo working for ‘Cb’ in an almost all over ad for a local radio station.
YN03 ZXB
Another ‘Cb’ Optare Solo. This one came to ‘Cb’ by way of ‘Paul James’ of Radcliffe on the Wreak who in turn became part of ‘Veolia Transport’.
S553 BNV
A Mercedes-Benz 0814 Vario with Plaxton Beaver bodywork.
Previously in the fleet of ‘Burton’s of Haverhill’ it currently works for ‘Nigel Jackson Travel’, a Leicester based company.
The orange strobe light on the roof is an unusual addition to a service bus.
