AT 5.45pm today, May 26, whilst waiting at traffic lights in Cemetery Road, York, I was privileged to have my first sighting of an "ftr" bus travelling from Heslington Road towards the city centre.

A huge and very distinctive vehicle, an impression that was immediately reinforced by the next vehicle crossing the junction: another "ftr" hot on the heels of the first!
