 | Brighton & Hove are now the sole
operator on the service to Eastbourne since Stagecoach gave up their
operation from Lewes depot. East Lancs/Scania 643
(YN54QOV) is seen leaving Eastbourne for Brighton in June 2006. |
| First recently upgraded the coastal X53
service from Exeter to Bournemouth with new East/Lancs
bodied Scanias. Their 36002 (YN04GNX) is seen
climbing the hill out of Seaton on a particularly hot summer day in
June 2005. |
| East Kent had just been sold to
Stagecoach when this Metrobus (F774EKM) was seen at the
quayside in Ramsgate in July 1994. |
| Red London buses can often be seen
outside of the capital on jaunts to the seaside in the
summer. London General NV179 (VLT179) heads up two
similar other Northern Counties bodied Olympians on Worthing promenade
in July 2006. |
| Southern Vectis K742ODL, an
open top Olympian, is seen at Yarmouth on one of the many Isle of
Wight island tours in September 2005. |
| When West Coast Motors took over from
Stagecoach on the Isle of Bute they retained many of the vehicles,
such as this Dart seen at the pier in Rothesay in August 2005. |
| This fine ECW bodied Lodekka, 869NHT,
was operating for Applebys in Scarborough in July 1994. It
started life as one of four convertible open toppers for Bristol
Omnibuses and is now owned by Martin Curtis in preservation. |
| Stagecoach Devon is one of the
healthiest bus operations in Britain, resulting in substantial
investment (unlike its First neighbour). The trunk coastal
service from Newton Abbott to Brixham was upgraded a few years ago
with Tridents such as 18065 (WA04CRK) seen on Torquay promenade
in 2006 on the warmest July day ever. |
