Summary

Description
English: Buses belonging to Stagecoach Kingston upon Hull (now Stagecoach in Hull), pictured in the era of the original version of Stagecoach's UK wide corporate livery. They are all Leyland Olympian double-deckers, with 3 different bodywork designs.

Nearest to camera is bus 906 (reg. E906 KYR). Together with its sister vehicles in shot, the 4th and 5th buses further down the lineup, it is a 1987 built Olympian with Northern Counties bodywork. They were all from the batch of 28 such vehicles bought by London Buses to be leased to their experimental low-cost unit, Bexleybus (numbered 1-28, registered E901-928 KYR). The buses were not to London specification, but were single-doored and to the Greater Manchester specification (having been part of an uncompleted order for that operator). When the Bexleybus operation failed in 1991, the whole batch was returned. They were subsequently sold, some going to Newcastle Busways, others to the Mersyside operator Fareway (3 coach seated examples in the batch, no.s 2 to 4, were exported to Singapore as tour buses.

The 2nd and 3rd buses in the lineup are 935 (C635 LFT) and 938 (C643 LFT) respectively. They are slightly older 1986 built Olympians with Alexander RH bodywork. They were all new to Tyne & Wear PTE (the former name of Busways) in their C610-665 LFT registered batch (numbered 601-665), which was distinctive for their oversize front black bumpers, since painted white in this scene. They've also been given a different radiator grille from their as-delivered design.

Last in the lineup appears to be an Eastern Coach Works bodied Olympian.
