Subject: First Manchester 37451 (MX58 EAC) Chassis: Volvo B9TL Body: Wright Gemini H45/29F Location: Greenfield, Chew Valley Road Date: 18-Apr-2015
I normally avoid flash for night photography, but in the circumstances of this photograph I had little choice. This bus in Rochdale Corporation commemorative livery is not usually seen on the 180 and the unexpected late encounter meant I had little choice about the lighting. Attempts without the flash had only yellow-orange from the street lighting and the blue livery was completely lost. 37451 is waiting at the Clarence and would shortly turn round for its trip to Manchester.
