I TOO thought "FTR: too big for York", like A P Cox (Letters, February 27) and "What will happen when this thing reaches Nessgate corner I dread to think".

Well, later on that day I found out - while walking in towards the city centre "the thing" came round Nessgate corner no problem whatsoever.

It nipped on to Ouse Bridge as I quickly grabbed my camera and photographed its disappearing rear! It's big, it's a pukey shade of purple - but it's nippy!

Dale Minks,

Ancress Walk,
