On the previous page we had a Metrobus liveried Scania working the 607X, in April 2012 K310UB 9532 (MO9532) is doing the reverse and operating the M61. A red sign in the window at Railway Square is designed to help confused passengers - maybe.
Though you cannot see the rear pair, this is triaxle Scania K310UB 9525 (MO9525) about to swing into George Street having just served the QVB stops. The Town Hall makes a formidable backdrop in this 2008 view between Christmas and New Year.
Afternoon rush hour between Christmas and the New Year in 2008 and queues of Hillsbus vehicles are lined up outside the Town Hall ready to swoop on the QVB George Street bus stops and gobble up the queues of commuters heading home to the hills. Volvo B10MA 1454 (MO1454) is outside triaxle Volgren bodied Scania K310UB 9506 (MO9506). The busy commuter routes are often at capacity, but the tri-axles found favour over the articulated Volvos, doubtless they gave a superior ride. They held sway until the Bustech deckers appeared on the scene in 2013.
