Скачать или смотреть (Rare Allocation, Now Scrapped) The Keighley Bus Company Volvo B7TL Wright Eclipse Gemini: PJ05 ZVX

In April 2025, As I did many times around the time, I made a last minute trip over to The Keighley Bus Company, in an attempt to tick off the remaining vehicles I was missing at the time, before the mass withdrawals followed later in the year.

The first of two motors I recorded on this particular evening, was PJ05 ZVX - Which was new to Burnley & Pendle (Nowadays The Burnley Bus Company) in August 2005 as their 2751, Specifically for The X43 Witchway. It then got transferred to sister company Lancashire United (The Blackburn Bus Company) in 2014 for the X41 and 152, Before going back to Burnley in 2016. It got painted into it's current livery in 2020 for the then new Pendle Wizz service between Burnley and Skipton, which got merged into the Mainline network in 2023, thus making 2751 redundent.

It moved to Keighley shortly after, being used exclusively on schools for the most part - However, it made the odd rare appearance throughout it's time at Keighley in public service, this occasion being one of those. You can tell it was never really meant to work the 62, as it still had the pre COVID "Otley Then Leeds Bradford Airport" blind for the Ilkley direction! This very service I rode turned out to be it's last ever public working, as it was retired from service a few weeks later in May, and was scrapped not long after - Talk about good timing!

Enjoy one last ride, On this beast of a machine.
