37518-YN58ETE_001
2008 saw the introduction of a large fleet of Wrightbus Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B9TLs for the Olive Grove depot in Sheffield. The fleet of 58 vehicles were used to operate cross city routes; services47/48 (Shiregreen-Herdings), service75 (Sheffield Lane Top-Batemoor) and service76 (High Green-Lowedges). During the time, the blue overground network has slightly changed, which saw the 76 get re-routed around Shiregreen to compete against Stagecoach's service88. As a result of this, double-deckers were taken off service76 because of the low trees on the Shiregreen estate and have never returned (only on the odd occasion). Here 37518, YN58 ETE is seen working a service76 from High Green to Low Edges.
