A Transdev trio - Skipton Bus Station
This photo shows three different Transdev vehicles on their respective stands at Skipton Bus Station on 13/10/2019. On the far left heading for Grassington on the BalesBus Network is Transdev - The Keighley Bus Company 155, YJ17FUW, an Optare Solo M9250SR. It was new to Transdev Keighley & District(155), in 08/2017. In the centre is Transdev - The Keighley Bus company 241, YJ16DWK, an Optare Versa V1170. It was one of three Versas new in 07/2016 for Dalesway branded Service 66 Keighley - Airedale Hospital - Skipton. It is awaiting departure back to Keighley while nearest the camera, on the right of the photo, is Transdev - The Burnley Bus Company 2775, BF63HCV, a Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 bodied Volvo B9TL. It was new to Transdev Burnley & Pendle(2775) in 10/2013 and is awaiting departure on an X43. "When will we three meet again"?, claims the Volvo. Well it depends on the vehicle roster I suppose! This photo was taken from preserved London & Country 359, UHG736R, a Leyland National Greenway 11351A/1R East Lancs rebuild. New to Ribble(736) as a standard National in 10/1976, it passed to London & Country in 1994 being rebuilt by East Lancs in the June of that year being fitted with a Gardner engine in the process. It was re-registered JIL2199. It subsequently passed to Arriva Fox County(2146) before passing to Northern Blue(9), Burnley. It then passed to Wootten's, Chesham, prior to passing into preservation as London & Country 359 and reverting to its original registration. This was about to depart for Kildwick while at the Aire Valley Transport Group Yorkshire Dales Rally & Running Day. © Peter Steel 2019.
