635. MHL 311F: West Riding + 635. JHE 635E: Yorkshire Traction - both on hire to SYPTE (nos. 1905 & 1900)
In December 1980, SYPTE found itself short of buses and arranged to hire six double deckers from Yorkshire Traction. YTC was unable to supply them all from within its own fleet and sub-hired five from fellow NBC subsidiary West Riding. However, the West Riding buses received Yorkshire Traction fleetnames for the duration.
In this picture, West Riding 635 is alongside Yorkshire Traction 635. The former is a Roe bodied Daimler Fleetline CRG6LX (new in 1968 originally numbered 200), while the latter is a Leyland Atlantean PDR1/2 with Northern Counties bodywork, new in 1967.
Both were returned in February 1981. They were photographed at Leicester Avenue depot, Doncaster.
