Hi all
At Stagecoach East Midlands the elderly Trident/ALX400s which have now retired from the Skegness Seasiders work lost their cherished registrations in favour of their 'as new' registrations earlier this month and are now for disposal.
Volvo B7TL/Wright 16943, the former Lincoln Tour Bus which was PIW 4457, has also gained it's original registration (FX06 AOE) and is also for disposal.
Former "Rocky the Seasider" 19169 has now been repainted as the new Lincoln Tour Bus and been re-registered from TIL 7901 to PIW 4457.
The "new" Skegness Seasiders fleet - former Manchester E400 Hybrids - are being prepared for use and will be gaining the plates previously carried by the Tridents/19169.? The first few converted Hybrids will be on display tomorrow between 11am and 1pm at Skegness Bus Station for anyone in the vicinity.
