‘Scene’, ‘Bits and Pieces’ on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Most of my blogs have some sort of theme or purpose. 

 

There are however times when I take a photograph of something that does not fit into any category. 

 

It is generally something that just happened to turn up at the time.

 

Collectively they are just ‘Bits and Pieces’. Individually they can be interesting.

 

See if there is anything that you like out of these.

‘Scene’ in Derby and Nottingham on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

I was in Derby and Nottingham to collect images  for another article.

 

As is always the case, I had to wait for the buses I wanted to put in an appearance so I occupied myself with capturing images of anything else that I thought of interest.

 

This small selection was the outcome.

 

YRC 182 ‘notts+derby’ No. 65. Alexander Dennis Javelin / Plaxton Profile /1

on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’ 

 

New to fellow ‘Wellglade’ group company member ‘TM Travel’ as YN09 AOS as No. 1203.

 

Fitted with 70 seats.

 

Pictured in Derby outside the Bus Station.

 

YRC 180, YRC 181 and YRC 182 are ‘cherished’ registrations having been used several times on different vehicles since they first appeared in the ‘Trent’ fleet in 1962. 

 

Their first use was on new Leyland PSUC1/1 Tiger Cubs bodied by Alexander in what was then known as the ‘BET’ style of body.

 

‘BET’ being the ‘British Electric Traction’ federation who at that time were the owners of ‘Trent Motor Traction Co.’ as they were then.
