Wright Bros YY63 OEL nr Greystoke Penrith
The long-standing Newcastle-Alston-Penrith-Keswick route, nowadays the 888, was inaugurated in 1925 with Wrights taking it over the following year. Formerly daily, over recent years it has been summer only which this year has been reduced to just between Fridays and Mondays - it is to be hoped it can continue for another three or four years to see its centenary.
YY63 OEL is a Volvo B9R new to East Yorkshire with its original National Express livery now amended to include Wright's traditional blue/grey, cream, and black colours.
It is pictured on an otherwise bus-less stretch of road south of Greystoke that even local village community operator Fellrunner does not reach.
