26/26A and later 21 was operated jointly with Halfway depot-B10Ms were the norm although Scanias and new Geminis were used as well. 3 hour round trip via Mosborough/Killamarsh/Harhill/Kiveton Park/Swallownest/Whiston.

Scanias were quite common in the latter days of the 26/26A and the early days of the 21. After them moving from OG from route 75 which were replaced with B7Ls.

The B7TL Geminis were also common and worked the 14:30, 17:30 and 21:30 journeys out of Rotherham. When arriving in Sheffield it then worked a short 24 to Aston before running back onto the 21 to Rotherham or X85 to Worksop.

2320 21 back to Killamarsh-it did 2115/2215 24s. The 45 interworked with the X85. The other 21 working finished at 2345 Manor top from 2230 Rotherham. That 2130 from Rotherham was almost certainly a Rotherham working that dropped onto a 23?.

Option 2.

Option 3, seen as it's something different. It is also a great photo.

1 - Never seen the bus, nor heard of it.
2 - The HST just looks a state with mismatched liveries.
3 - Too bland, all I will see of the background is the people at the sides.
4 - Lovely steam engine, but we've had one of those this month, time for a change.
5 - Nice bus, looks a little battered, but havn't had one of them as the background before.
6 - It's a B6LE...terrible bus, but looks extremely smart!

By the way, above I am not criticising the photographers themselves, just the subject of the photo; they're all great photo's so well done to applicants.

Based on that, I say option 6 this month!

Option 4 one of the photos this month should be carry an X rating and shouldnt be availble for view for anyone under 18

You can't have too many steam engines can you

Personally I think 2 in a row is overkill! I'm going for the ALX200, excellent photo as the bus looks really smart.

Me too, an excellent photo. Close second goes to the DAF/Wright in number 1

Number 5 for me this month.

Cheers, Dave

1 for me. Fantastic shot.

Option 3, since they are my local buses and contain a forum member on the picture! (think that would have to be a first?)

[westy20040]

Option 5 for me only because the 26/26A was one of my local bus services before becoming the 21.
