An interior view of RWT 613, travelling between Stainforth and Thorne on an afternoon journey to Goole in 1962.  At this time all service buses (and the colliers' specials) carried conductors, almost all of whom were female, whilst drivers were exclusively male.  This was not always the case, however.  The Doncaster area had female bus drivers during the war years and they have made a re-appearance in the last couple of decades.

            HWU 438 waits at Moorends in July 1962, before loading miners for an afternoon shift at Rossington colliery.  The collieries worked three shifts and these services were provided throughout the day and night.  This Guy Arab III with 56-seat body already seemed a representative of an earlier age as larger buses with enclosed radiators and front entrances joined the fleet.  Other operators were buying rear-engined Leyland Atlanteans by this date.
