STAGECOACH Yorkshire has launched a special bus in heritage Yorkshire Traction livery to mark 10 years since they bought the company.

The red and cream double-deck vehicle will operate on a variety of local Barnsley routes.

Yorkshire Traction operated buses and trams in Yorkshire from 1902 until 2005 and was known locally as ‘Tracky’.

John Young, commercial director, said: “In celebrating our success, we felt it was really important to remember our history.

“Yorkshire Traction played a big part in the lives of many local people and we hope our customers enjoy seeing this nostalgic look back at ‘Tracky’ on the roads in Barnsley."
