Recommended Posts

Thanks, @Hook. Quite likely to be going on Sunday for the open day, so no doubt I'll see it.🙂

They're running at least one single decker in the Mainline colours, in addition to a double decker in the Sheffield City Council Transport Dept colours (Cream & Prussian Blue) & another double decker in the "Coffee & Cream" South Yorkshire County Council colour scheme.  Both of these double deckers run on the 51 route.

 

I remember how unpopular the introduction of the coffee & cream livery was in Sheffield when South Yorkshire County Council was formed in 1974 & took over the responsibility for the buses from the individual Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley & Doncaster Councils, doing away with each area's unique colours & bringing in a uniform colour scheme across South Yorkshire.

They were phenomenonally unpopular in Donny too, replacing the red corporation buses.

Ooops, sorry, I had forgotten about the Trust, mixed it up with the Museum - where I am going on Sunday.

 

SYTT open day is 21st July - I'm aiming for that one as well.
