Arriva Midlands 4745 - PN52 XRW - DAF Lowlander - Newarke Street, Leicester
Sadly the only picture I ever got of one of my favourite buses, 4745 arrives into Leicester on an 87. It left about a week after I took this and became Arriva Yorkshire 1628, before being withdrawn and scrapped in late 2017/early 2018.
This particular one had only been in Leicester since 2009, having spent the first 6 years of its life in Derby.
Initially, this was the last photo uploaded of one of these in Leicester. A few years later, a photo of 4740 on layover at St. Margaret’s a few days later was uploaded. By that point, all of Yorkshire’s Lowlanders had succumbed to the brutal winter of 2017-18. That was except 4742, which clung on until 2019, and 4737, which became a local favourite, surviving until 2023.
