Stagecoach 26271 on InterConnect 53A

In a similar manner to when a couple of Humber Fast Cats appeared in Lincoln on the 103, here is the Grimsby equivalent with a "TwoFifty" branded MMC off-route and working a 53A into the city. Here it's shown descending Broadgate as it approaches its ultimate destination of the bus station.

 

TwoFifty is the new brand for what was the Humber Flyer 250, which isn't a route I'm really familiar with but from what I can gather it's been renamed as it no longer serves Humberside Airport. Unlike Stagecoach's vision from 2020, this route has its own specific livery; though is is pretty much a blue version of the "Distance" one. It's not very inspiring, but compared to the blandness of Local it looks decent.

 

Of course, as well as the 250 there's the Fast Cat, aka the 350, so will that follow suit and become the ThreeFifty? Given it's run jointly with East Yorkshire, I'd imagine there would have to be some liaising before a change like that took place. Or equally Stagecoach could just change its own branding without consulting EY at all... you really never know.
