First Leeds 69000 - YK54 ENP

As my University timetable clamps on down in my final days of term, with assignments due in over the next few weeks, the gap between new photos appears to be growing larger as the weeks pass. So, to bump up the numbers, let's go back to my first ever spotter's trip to Leeds back in January 2018, where the concept of framing, back then, was completely nonexistent to me. See this photo, for example. This bus carries some light significance, I feel, as though it is not chronologically the first B7RLE First has operated, when it was new to York in early 2005, it would be the first bus (ha!) to kick off the long-standing 69xxx series of B7RLEs, which funnily enough, ended in Yorkshire in 2013, if the Bustimes mass-list is correct. Yes, this is just another bog-standard B7RLE, but this is the one that started off possibly the most easily-rememberable number combination in the fleet.

 

Seen here in January 2018 when it still had all its original Leeds 'Olympia' logos, First Leeds' 69000, a 2005 Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse Urban new to First York, is seen taking passengerse on Duncan Street on a 75 to Middleton.
