This selection might be sub titled.
“Something old, something new, nothing borrowed, something blue”.
’17’ plate registrations have been a bit sparse in my part of the world so we will start there.
‘yourbus’ of Heanor have recently taken delivery of three ‘old’ model Alexander Dennis Ltd. E20D’s numbered 1407 (YX17 NJJ), 1408 (YX17 NJK) and 1409 (YX17 NJN).
Delivered in white and repainted before entering service, presumably they came from a dealer and I would think have Euro 5 engines.

Something blue then.
Arriva have started painting their fleet in a much brighter blue (see my blog dated March 15th 2017).
Today, I saw this variation on the theme and very attractive it is.

We conclude with this 22 year old which I think you will agree has been an ‘L’ of a bus to have finished up as a driver trainer.
Every time I see one of these Volvo B10B’s with Northern Counties bodies I think
“this could be the last time I see it”.
One day it will be, so enjoy it while it lasts!
