Why are the 2 Alexander Dash Volvo B6's still in operation from Rotherham Depot and are they used now almost exclusively on the 8 to Kimberworth Park?
Is there any plan to withdrawn these vehicles soon as they are the only Non Low Floor MIDI vehicles left with First South Yorkshire.
The vehicles are 40503 & 40504.

They are N registered which makes them as old as the majority of the remaining B10Ms.
They also have cherished registrations which will require suitable transfer vehicles before they are withdrawn.

Are they! By the way why do they have the same interior as the Yorkshire Terrier B6's did, were they ever used with Yorkshire Terrier? I believe they came from yorkshire travel in huddersfield. Along with the 2 that ended up with Andrews sheffield omnibus. |
