Stagecoach 10738 on InterConnect 56
Curiously, some vehicles from Hull have been transferred - I assume temporarily - to Skegness depot and can be found on various Skeg routes. They have gained a single E400 MMC, SN66 VXF 10738, which bizarrely has become a regular performer on the 56! It would make sense that they'd use this significantly newer vehicle with its high backed seating on a route which treks across half of Lincolnshire, but it just seems so out of place coming from the land of 06 plate Geminis and purple E400s, and then to Lincoln where the only other E400 MMCs we see are the Gainsborough ones!
When I took this I fully expected it to be a one-off occasion, yet this thing's since cemented itself onto the 56 roster, while Lincoln's AE07 E400s seem to be making up the majority of other trips. Have they gone back on loan again or is Lincoln depot just running some 56s now?
