Stagecoach 26172 on InterConnect 103
From previous observation, I'd figured that FastCat branded bus appearances on the 103 only happened a couple of times a year and I probably wouldn't see another one. New calculations show this is more like a couple of times a month!
Two weeks after the previous instance, a 103 board was once again being covered by an orange liveried Fast Cat E200 MMC, running in place of one of Scunthorpe's standard Enviro 300s. The group of E300s which tend to crop up on the 103 is quite small, which leads me to think Scunthorpe don't have that many, and when stretched for vehicles they end up having to use one of these MMCs off-route instead. Perhaps if I'm really lucky one day, we'll get a decker on it?!
6 cyl Enviro 200 MMC 26172 "Marmalade" sets off from Lincoln with a 103 to Kirton and Scunthorpe, and is pictured on Melville Street on 17.2.23
Sadly the cat on the side has had its legs chopped off, presumably in some sort of freak accident. Not that it seems to mind, given how happy it looks...
