W10 MPT ‘Omega Busways’.
DAF DB250 / Optare Spectra

The ‘pick of the day’ for me being a very rare bus these days.
Now almost 20 years old, being new registered YJ53 VBN to ‘Universitybus’, Hatfield.
The Spectra was developed from the MCW Metrobus by DAF and Optare and was Optare’s first venture into the world of low floor double deck buses.
The choice of route number deserves comment.
The B52H is currently the only model of Boeing’s B52 strategic bomber aircraft still in service with the ‘United States Air Force’.
The B52 dates back to the early 1950s and the current survivors are due to be re-engined by Rolls-Royce to give them another 30 years service.
Somebody at ‘Omega Busways’ has a strong sense of aviation history.
The company operates widely across Manchester and Warrington providing contract bus services.

New to ‘First Manchester’ No. 39208.
‘Go North West’ came into being in 2019 when the ‘Go-Ahead’ group bought ‘First’ group’s Queens Road (Manchester) depot and the associated services worked from there.
Working from and back to Manchester’s Shude Hill transport interchange.
A place where I have spent many happy hours.
