Arriva London North DBS7 (N607 DWY)

DAF DB250 / Northern Counties

Route 263

Archway (Vorley Road stand)

12th April 1998

Archway, March 1997.

In 1995 Leaside Buses, who were part of the Cowie Group, were awarded the contract for the 263 (Archway Station - Barnet General Hospital), to start in 02/1996. For this they ordered thirteen these DAFs with single-doorway Palatine II bodies, probably because Hughes-DAF was part of the Cowie empire. The buses arrived from stock in 10/1995, so were used for contracts, then in 01/1996, on the 221, until the 263 was ready for takeover. When the Cowie Group was re-named Arriva, these DAFs became part of Arriva London North and DBS7 is seen here devoid of any fleetnames when climbing High Street, Barnet, on Service 263, on 31/07/1998. Based at Wood Green from new, this one went under repair, in 04/2001 then was transferred to Enfield Repair Centre, in 07/2001. Later in 2001, it was transferred to Arriva North West, Manchester, then in 08/2010 it moved to Liverpool, still under Arriva North West control, for school contracts. These details and more can be found at www.countrybus.org/DAF/DBS_a.htm#fleet.

The London origins show through on the nearside dome thanks to the lack of a proector.

Old films do not cope well with flat lighting conditions!
