Stagecoach 27794 on InterConnect 56
Bizarre as it was, they really did have an Enviro 300 on a normal 56 board. I did wonder if this had become more normalised while I've been away from the Lincolnshire stuff, but a quick look through Bustimes appears to show that aside from the occasional early morning run, an E300 is definitely not the vehicle of choice for the Skegness to Lincoln trunk route!
27794 had made its way onto a daytime board, which still show as being rarely operated by anything other than deckers, so it does seem that I managed to stumble across quite an unusual working. I don't know if the 56 typically picks up or drops off more passengers as it heads towards Horncastle, but if it's the former then the case for using bigger vehicles on the route is clear to see; most seats on the single decker are occupied right from the very first stop.
Also hitching a ride is a plant hanging from the front bumper.
