Easter Sunday 16 April 1995 – Yorkshire Rider 1425 (L542 XUT) seen in Portland Street, Manchester setting out on the 1400 National Express ‘Express Shuttle’ service 361 to Leeds.

It is a Plaxton Expressliner bodied Volvo B10M new in March 1994 which carries the ‘Express Shuttle’ livery with lettering for services from Manchester to Leeds (361) and Bradford (362).

The ‘Express Shuttle’ brand had been introduced by National Express for services between key regional towns which did not require pre-booking. A passenger could just turn up and travel.
