Coat of Many Colours - 8

A second shot of First Cymru Wright StreetCar 19038, this time from the front.

 

She and sister 19036 have been re-instated from the start of Swansea University's 2016/17 academic year to operate Service 8X, which provides a direct link every half hour on Mondays to Fridays between the Bay Campus and Singleton Hospital & Swansea University, omitting the City Centre. Such a service was quickly introduced a few weeks into the start of last acdemic year due to the larger than anticipated numbers of students requiring transport, and used re-instated StreetCars 19033 and 19038 for several months.

 

Both 19036 and 19038 have received a version of corporate livery in the same style and colours applied to Alexander Dennis E20D MMCs 67091-5, and is now starting to be applied to a number of Wright Eclipse Urban-bodied Volvo B7RLEs that operate alongside them.

 

In this mid September 2016 shot, 19038 is captured at speed on Fabian Way in the Crymlyn Burrows area of Swansea, where the lampposts lean in strange directions. It seems that difficulties are still being encountered reprogramming the LED destination displays.
