ARRIVA Midlands: 3756 YJ61 FEF, Gobowen
Oswestry currently have eight VDL SB200, Wright Pulsar 2 models that are dedicated for the cross border 2/2/2C services to Wrexham. Seven 63 plates were new for the services but one appeared in the high summer of 2018 when EasyCoach (TSL) attacked Arriva on these long established services for a short period.
3756 which was new to Cannock and had spent some years at Telford, came as the ‘competition bus’, allowing a new bus and driver to come and take a new run out of Oswestry, opposed to swapping onto the inbound run which was often late and thus up their game, a practice still done and has improved reliability no end. 3756 ended up staying and was refurbished as freshly demonstrated in this view on a 2 working passing through Gobowen. It was understood that another Pulsar should have arrived when the 54 school run was won and would be the spare bus in the daytime but as fate would have it 3756 remained.
This zoomed out view between the shadows was not optimal, otherwise the front would be in the shadow, but gives a different perspective to others of this type I have added on this Flickr stream, very much the odd one out!
