Hi.
I thought I would say a few words to introduce myself.
I've joined this forum mainly for the bus side of things as i'm already a member of plenty of railway forums and gen groups, but thanks to channel 5's 'On the Yorkshire busses' series I've recently taken an interest in local bus operations again.
The last time I took an active interest in busses First South Yorkshire was called Mainline, Leon Motors were running Fleetlines, EYMS and Northern Bus were running everyone elses cast off Bristol VR's, and South Riding had a fleet of Mk1 Leyland Nationals and Sheffield still had 'bendi busses'. Oh Happy days they were!
I'm mainly interested in the older vehicles and small independent operators, though I do use FSY on a daily basis to and from work.
I will soon be asking many, probably stupid questions until I get back up to speed so please bear with me.
I am also a keen modeler and photographer.
I know Doncaster isn't in West Yorks but I have also recently joined the South Yorkshire Forum as well as the East Midlands forum as living in Doncaster I'm close to all three operational areas, plus I regularly take advantage of Arriva Yorkshire Day Saver's and Stagecoach Explorer tickets.

It's mostly railway stuff but there's some recent bus stuff on there too.
Regards,
Darren.
