I have heard that a Volvo Strider, hopefully, should be in the hands of a presevationist sometime next week. See blog: - 1017blog.uk-buses.co.uk |

Hi Everyone
I just wish to give you all an update with 60784.
It was collected at 9am yesterday where it went to Hull via the 508 to Leeds, and to Hull via M62.
It then stayed at Anlaby Road, East Yorkshire Motor Services depot, where it was collected at 10am this morning.
It then went via the Humber Bridge to Scunthorpe (EY/SC 350 route) then down the A15 to Lincoln, and carried on down the A15 to Peterborough via Bourne.
I have just spent the last 30 minutes ripping the rear advert off the bus.

One of the most annoying but yet most common habits! Enjoy it guys, i'll be at a rugby game tomorrow although would've enjoyed my first ride on a B10b strider to be over t'manc. |

Well after all i did attend to yesterdays "Christmas Cracker" and traveled on 1017 from Leeds to Manchester, as i am currently un able to return down south due to my motorbike being a the bodyshop after a horrific crash late Thursday night as some of you maybe aware of. But anyways here is the shot of 1017 as she arrived in Leeds.

Why would it be bought in First livery, re-painted in Calderline livery only to be re-painted again into Yorkshire Rider livery?  |

The best livery for a B10B strider IMO, as much as I do like Yorkshire Rider it's nice to have something preserved in a mid-life livery rather than it's first for a change |
