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!

 

Here it is departing Lincoln bus station onto Broadgate as it begins its journey to Horncastle and then onto Skegness on 16.1.21

 

In the background, Brylaine and PC Coaches Solo SRs go about their business while an SC 'local' E400 is laying over in the bus station and an ALX400 Trident is on the 1 to Grantham. Certainly not Nottingham levels of variety, but it's a decent enough mix and the abundance of older vehicles makes up for the rest.
