EYMS Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 YX09GWC (758) seen in Withernwick while working the 09:20 ex Hornsea 230.
The timetable states that this runs as far as Ganstead on Tuesdays and Thursdays, only extending to Hull on its third operating day of Saturday when it also misses the flatteringly named village of Swine. 758s destination display told a different story here however it is debatable whether "Ganstead" is available; if this bus doesn't continue the whole way then a connection to Hull is available by hourly service 240 which arrives ten minutes later anyway.
The vehicle was one of a batch of ten new to the company in mid 2009, arriving a few months after another ten B9s carrying the original Gemini bodywork. While the latter vehicles were split between Withernsea, Hornsea and Elloughton, the 09 Gemini 2s were all initially allocated to Hull depot however this changed when 757/8 were transferred to Hornsea in exchange for 708/9 in April this year. 758 was then swapped with Hull for 768 of the 59 batch a few months later however made a seemingly arbitrary return to Hornsea in September when 757 was transferred back to Hull.
DRG 750mm gauge Class 99.73 2-10-2T DR No.99 758 at Kurort Jonsdorf on the Zittauer Schmalspurbahn, 7 October 2021.
The DRG built 32 Class 99.73’s in 1928-33 for the Saxon 750 mm gauge lines. After WWII ended, 10 were seized by Russia. The remainder were in East Germany and the DR did not start withdrawing them until the late 1960’s but it was decided to retain 10 of them and rebuild them with new all-welded boilers and most of these still remain in service.
In 1952, uranium was discovered in the Erzgebirge (Ore) Mountains served by narrow gage lines so the DR built 24 more 2-10-2T’s in 1952-56 classed as 99.77 closely based on the 99.73’s but with larger fireboxes (to burn brown coal), all-welded boilers, plate frames instead of bar frames, larger tanks and bunkers and various detail differences. However, by the late 1980’s the locos were suffering from cracked frames and worn-out boilers so withdrawals began. DR intended to replace them by diesels by 1995 but German re-unification resulted in the DBAG replacing both the frames and the boilers on 14 locos in 1991-92 for further service.

Rare picture of Bradford 758 with experimental flashing indicators.
758 is a BUT/ Weymann 9611T of 1950 was one of Bradfords last batch of Trolleybuses purchased new.
Preserved and now owned by Bardford Trolleybus Association its currently nearing the end of a long restoration at Santofft.
Donations welcome to www.bradfordtrolleybusassociation.co.uk/.
758's claim to fame was it was experimentallly fitted with the UKs first flashing indicators when such things on normal road vehicles were not legal. It is hoped to reproduce these on completion.
I beleve Bradford pioneered flashing indicators after a few incidents with cars of the day trying to pass accellerating Trolleybuses and running out of road.
Im told a rear mounted sign advising against passing Trolleybuses pulling out or on hills was tried as a prelude to the flashing arrows.
