PC Coaches FX13 ABN
Here's PC Coaches E400H FX13 ABN in Lincoln bus station, having run in with its last service of the day and now off to the PC Coaches depot on 1.7.21
Between taking this photo and the previous one of the Walk and Ride bus on the 49, I encountered two men at a stop on Newland hoping to catch a Stagecoach 2 to Branston. There was no info at the stop to inform people the diverted buses weren't calling at it - in fact it was nothing more than a shelter with a Covid notice stuck to it, so it was impossible to tell whether it was even in use or not (only a shelter, not even a bus stop flag). We went to the bus station and on the way were overtaken by an inbound 2 worked by 27637. On the walk they informed me they'd just come from the bus station, but abandoned it because the 2 wasn't listed on the departure boards. They got on 27637 when we caught it up at the bus station... where it promptly waited for twenty minutes. I had time to go and grab some shopping, return and it was still sat there.
Needless to say, passenger information on the whole diversion situation is quite lacking, and I still can't figure out if that stop on Newland is in use or not (it's meant to be served by the 100/106/107). There's no flag on it and no timetable either. I also don't know if the 2 is serving stops on Tentercroft Street... if it isn't then that's quite bad.
