Ellie Rose UK R315 WVR - a photo on Flickriver

Ellie Rose UK R315 WVR

            Unfortunately, this will likely be one of the last photos I will have gotten of an Ellie Rose Palatine II in service. I remember these buses when they were used all around Hull on school contract runs in the era of Ellie Rose's vast Olympian fleet, and I remember calling them my favourites of the fleet for their unique body style. But alas, all good things must come to an end - the Olympians will all soon be supplanted by new additions from the East Yorkshire fleet. One of these three is now in an all-over wrap for Tommy Coyle's boxing club, while the other two are now, supposedly, in reserve. End of an era for sure.

So here is R315 WVR, unintentionally posed for a photo while being washed down on a relatively-dour day, taken in the early stages of a visit to the Ellie Rose depot over the October half-term break. Only now have I gained a new appreciation for these Palatine II's, as I have discovered they are ex-Merseybus vehicles - a hint of that former identity can be seen in the now-covered-over two-point destination screen. I'm very glad to know that two Merseybus Palatines have been preserved, and I also must thank Ellie Rose for allowing me to tour their depot all the way around on that April day last spring. God, that's passed fast...
