2 hours in Ely 21/09/11

Yesterday (Wednesday 21st Septemebr 2011) i had to take my car to Ely for its annual service, which gave me time to photo some trucks and buses going past on the main A142 through the 3rd smallest city in the UK (corrections on this welcomed, working from memory there)

At the times i was there, 1440-1630, i was hoping to photograph some school services, as with A&P Travel being based around the corner, and Freedom Travel/Fen-Cabs just around the other corner, i stood a good chance. Both these operators have some very interesting stuff, (A&P prehaps to much so).

First coach seen however was not from either of those operators, but was a DAF VanHool T8 of `Discover Cambridge` (a company not seen by me before). I think, going by the livery it mght be ex, or still with Youngs, Haddenham, but no link is yet to be found.



The wait was eventually worth it, as with 20mins to go before the car was ready, this Volvo B10M/NC Palentine M550SPY turned up. One of a few vehicles they seemed to have applied fleet names to:

And then, thankfully, this lump of a D10M Citybus was kind enough to show itself, In a former life, it was new to Nottingham City! (C308NRC, with A&P)

Now, thats the buses dealt with, be dammed if im going to upload all 50odd of the truck pics, so iv chosen my favourites:

Turners DAF CF AY59AYM

Lynn Star Iveco Stralis BT10VMP

Three Distrobution DAF XF105 AE59CGY

DHL Volvo FH460 PO60AKG

Turners Volvo FM12 440 KX06OOF

And spot of the day H. C WIlson Heavy Haulage new Scania R620 6x4 R80HCW.
