First South Yorkshire 34053, a Volvo Olympian/Northern Counties Palatine II, heads back to Doncaster town centre on route 65, having turned using the roundabout at the junction of Sandringham Road with Armthorpe Road. This bus was one of a batch built in 1996 for Centrewest for use on London route 607 (Uxbridge - Ealing - Shepherd's Bush); as this was a long, limited stop service, the buses were built with a single door and comfortable, generously pitched seats, all unusual features for London buses at the time. I photographed this vehicle (when it was still numbered V53) at Uxbridge Station when it was new, and presumably travelled on it; it was something of a surprise to find a monster like this trundling up and down a short, lightly used route in Doncaster.
