Another ex-First Scania L94UB Wright Axcess Floline in the ConnexionsBuses fleet, S574 TPW came from Eastern Counties (66574) and is at Queen Street in York running HCT service 13 to Copmanthorpe. This has also been in the Northampton fleet... though the 'PW' registration suffix originates from South Wales, which means this bus does fit in with other vehicles which have been with Connexions in the past and have originated from Newport Transport. This particular bus is one of the lesser-papped members of the fleet, possibly because it normally runs on school duties in Harrogate. This afternoon it has come to York in order to replace a Solo on the 13 - there had been two Solo's on the 13 today as an overnight theft of diesel and batteries meant several vehicles were out of action on Tuesday morning; staff ingenuity in pulling resources in addition to A&A Coach Travel next door helpfully lending a vehicle to cover some duties meant that more buses were up and running in the afternoon.
I did want to get an offside photo of this as there wouldn't have been the glare from the streetlights - I got to the other side of the road and in the back of my mind knew that in the following few seconds a car wishing to turn right into Blossom Street would come along and occupy lane 2 thus blocking the chance of an offside photo, and that's exactly how it played out.

...no not about the hotel! First Potteries all Leyland Olympian G755XRE (30031) is seen leading a line of traffic midway through the climb up Etruria Road/Trinity Street to Hanley town centre on a 34A, the more typical traction for this and the inter-working 20A route can be seen in the background. To still be going strong at nearly 24 years old these must truly be a sign of 'quality', as for the hotel I have no comment, 06/07/2013.

former Firstgroup First Leeds / West Yorkshire 61066, Scania L113CRL Wright Axcess Ultralow R452 JSG was new to Yorkshire Rider as 8452. Back in the day, this operated 'Superbus' routes with guide wheels attached for the guided bus lanes of Leeds; its last use in public service was with ConnexionsBuses of Tockwith (see some of my photos), but more recently has been purchased for preservation by Matthew Thompson and Josh Bickerstaffe, today with Chris Thompson driving
