*DECENT* Ride on Diamond Bus East Midlands' Volvo B5TL Wright Eclipse Gemini 3, 40613 (BF15 KFD)

Here's a nice ride on one of the few B5TLs in Burton, you join me Diamond Bus East Midlands' Volvo Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 bodied Volvo B5TL 40613 on the route 21 to Swadlincote from Burton. 40613 was new to Bournemouth RATP Yellow Buses numbered as 194, with the batch of 40610-40615
After the collapse of Bournemouth Yellow Buses these had to cascade somewhere else and due to Diamond taking over Midland Classic in Burton, 40610-40615 were transferred down to Burton to join the Diamond East Midlands fleet, to make the fleet more younger in part replacement for the older Ex-London DAFs and B7TL Plaxton Presidents. Ironically these all carry similar number plates to Arriva's DAFs, here's a list of how similar the number plates are to the Arriva DAFs...
40610 (BF15 KFG) - 4775 (YJ56 KFG)
40611 (BF15 KFK) - 4776 (YJ56 KFK)
40612 (BF15 KFE) - 4773 (YJ56 KFE)
40613 (BF15 KFD) - 4772 (YJ56 KFD)
40614 (BF15 KFC) - 4771 (YJ56 KFC)
40615 (BF15 KFA) - 4767 (YJ56 KFA)
These B5TLs are quite nice motors certainly liking hill climbs performing them very nicely, overall these are lovely which is something I wasn't expecting from a B5
Enjoy this nice run on 40613 :)
