[RARE] First South Yorkshire 31133 - YU52 VYJ

            Do bear in mind that for this Flickr upload, I had to digitally up the saturation of this image as I felt the original image, taken on a setting fiddled about with (unsuccessfully) to try and get better night photos, had the colours of it way too washed out. This is why parts of the image may appear brighter as they should.

With that out the way, the subject of the image: there really aren't a lot of FirstBus ALX400s left kicking about along the streets of the United Kingdom, let alone one in the 'Barbie' livery it was delivered in. South Yorkshire, for now, seems to be the main dumping ground in the North of England for any ex-London or secondhand First ALX400s, but with Sheffield due to introduce a Clean Air Zone of its own, its unclear as to how long this, alongside the older First South Yorkshire fleet, will last.

Surprisingly still in service and having still not been repainted into Olympia livery, pictured in January 2019 as a last-minute surprise spot at Meadowhall Interchange is First South Yorkshire's 31133, a 2003 Volvo B7TL Alexander ALX400, finishing up its run on the 35 to Sheffield's Meadowhall shopping centre.
