‘Scene’ in Leeds, ‘ARRIVA’ & ‘Transdev’ Deckers on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

I feel that the lower roofline of the buses of this type produced for ‘ARRIVA’ spoils the look of the Gemini body.

 

The comparison between the ‘ARRIVA’ style roofline  and the original is clear to see with the ‘CityZap’ bus behind.

‘Transdev’ uses local identities in Blackburn, Burnley, Harrogate and Keighley together with ‘Coastliner’ to engender in the populations of the towns and localities the feeling that these are ‘our’ buses.

‘Scene’ in York part 2

Another selection from one of my favourite city’s. Lots of buses, a major railway station and the NRM. Who could ask for more !

 

BG58 OMH

An articulated Mercedes-Benz Citaro working for ‘First York/West Yorkshire’ (FWY) on the ‘Red Line’ service.

 

Y151 HRN

A Volvo B10BLE with Wright Renown bodywork working on service 44 to the University.

This bus has been around the ‘Transdev’ fleets having worked for ‘Transdev Harrogate’  and ‘Transdev Yorkshire Coastliner’ before joining the York based operation.

 

YJ14 BHA

An Optare Versa V1110EV working for ‘FWY’. 

These electric buses are ideal for working in an historic city such as York because they emit no pollutants to damage the city's fabric.

 

YD02 UMX

Another Volvo B10BLE with Wright Renown bodywork this time working in the

‘Transdev Yorkshire Coastliner’ fleet. Again this has been around the ‘Transdev’ operations having worked previously for ‘Lancashire United’ and ‘Burnley & Pendle’.

 

5147 UA

A Scania CN94UA Omnicity working for the’Harrogate Coach Company’. It was previously registered YN54 OBA when it worked for ‘Red Rover’ buses.

 

AY08 MAX

A Wrightbus 2DL with Wright Pulsar Gemini 2 bodywork. Working for ‘arriva’ in ‘Max’ branded livery. 

 

To me, It doesn’t look like a Gemini with the reduced height of the roof.

 

BF62 UXW

A Volvo B9TL with Wright Eclipse Gemini bodywork working the ‘Yorkshire Coastliner’ service 843 from Scarborough back to Leeds.

I like the way the livery depicts the movement of waves.

 

YX05 EOP

Another Volvo fitted with the Wright Eclipse Gemini body but this time the earlier B7TL model.

‘This East Yorkshire Motor Services’ bus looking surprisingly scruffy for an operator which prides itself on the appearance of their vehicles.

 

YJ51 RKO

A Volvo B6BLE with Wright Crusader 2 bodywork in the ‘FWY’ fleet.

 

YJ08 XYB

A Volvo 7BLE with Wright Eclipse Urban bodywork in the fleet of ’FWY’.

Wearing only part of the Park & Ride livery. See previous blog dated 13 May 2015 to see a similar bus painted in the full livery.
