Arriva Leicester

RE: Arriva Leicester
Well, I finally made it to Leicester today! I came via Stoke & Derby, splitting my ticket at Uttoxeter as planned.

As a majority of my buses were Arriva, I shall cover my daytrip here. I am pleased to say that I did not let the side down, in that my day in Leicester did indeed start with an Enviro 400-MMC. Anyway, my Arriva buses in chronological order were as follows:-

Enviro 400-MMC 4503 (52)
Sapphire Volvo B9TL 4209 (X3)
Sapphire Volvo B7TL 4009 (31a)
Bendibus 5000 (80)
Enviro 400 4425 (49a)

Meanwhile, my First buses were:-

Streetlite 63352 (25)
Volvo B7RLE 69451 (38)
Streetdeck 35181 (54)

I also rode CentreBus Solo SR 314.

Had time permitted, I might have done Arriva Volvo B9TL with green seats and a Streetlite, more CentreBus stock and maybe some Kinch buses too.

As day turned into evening, I started to notice Arriva Enviro 400s on other Volvo routes notably the 44 and 49a. Also, I saw a few First buses in Pastel instead of Olympia livery for the first time in a while!
