370 (H370UWB) was once one of a large batch of Reeve Burgess Beaver bodied Renault S56 minibuses that
were let loose on the main 52 route across Sheffield in its first 'minibus conversion'. They introduced
the new livery, sweeping away the rather insipid cream and tan of the old PTE. The choice of Renault
was perhaps as idiosynchratic as the Rolls Royce Dominators - and subsequently B6s in preference
to Darts.
 
Sixteen Mercedes Vario O.810s with Plaxton Beaver 2 bodywork joined the fleet in 1998 of which
130 (R130XDT) is one, seen here in Sheffield Bus Station.
 
Not the best product of First ownership, but 81 is a Duple Dominant bodied Leyland Tiger bus,
originating with Yorkshire Rider, but freshly painted out of First Northampton livery and happily
contending with the X56 to Rotherham.
 
Another Duple bodied Tiger, once in the Mainline fleet, and seen arriving at the EFE Showbus rally
in 1997. It was once London Country Green Line TD3 (YPD103Y).
