Yorkshire Traction 639. Leyland Olympian/ECW. A639 WDT. Delivered new to Waterloo depot in September 1983. What set her apart from her siblings, 633/6/7/8 was the fact she carried the NBC style fleetname, Instead of the Metrobus style fleetname the others had. She retained these right up to de-regulation in 1986 and the subsequent repaint(s) after. I recently tried to trace her history after she left Waterloo for other pastures within Tracky-Land, And am led to believe she was finally withdrawn in 2004/5 before the Stagecoach takeover. Another source leads to Alpine of Llandudno aquireing her for her last couple of years of life, before succombing to the inevitable. If anyone knows anything more, Please let me know. 639 She was always MY bus.

I was probably thinking of R11WAL at the time, and then typing 11 from the registration |

G383MWU - Leyland Lynx that saw out its last days with Harrogate Coach Travel
Beyond that, the B10BLEs that Arriva Selby used to use on the 415, and the B10Ms that EYMS used to use on the X46, but no specific one in either fleet.
