 |
| Unfortunately,
for most of the day weather conditions were less than
ideal for photography. 1990 is seen at Grantham bus station resting between duties. |

making its way down Grantham High Street on the 611 to
Alma Park Estate - a route which is normally uoperated by low-floor Dennis Dart "Superbuzz" vehicles. |
 |
| Back at the bus station, 1990 arrives amidst a downpour. |
 |
| The brief
appearance of the sun at the end of the day allowed a
brief photo stop to be made. |
 |
| Now at
Lincoln bus station, 1990 prepares to depart on the very
last service to be worked by a VR, the 1905hs. route 601 to Grantham. |
 |
| On arrival at Grantham, the driver kindly posed the vehicle for photographers. |
