[LOAN] Stagecoach in Mansfield ‘Pronto’ 10974 - SN18 KTJ

And there we go! If this is the last Pronto I'm going to get, then so be it! Yes, three times a day now - excluding an untracked deadrun - this is the way most of the Prontos now go every morning following the big loan shuffle, and unable to get to Bridlington in quick time this week, it was either get soaked and step in a puddle twice or miss it for the whole day, and I knew what I was sacrificing... It seems all these Prontos have their own individual quirks now that they have reached their fourth year in service, with 10974 here having lost both fleet number and tree bar after some sort of argument with a tall structure back home. It looks... well, a bit naked, doesn't it?

 

A few minutes out from disappearing from Hull for the rest of the day, Stagecoach in Mansfield's 'Pronto'-branded 10974, a 2018 ADL Enviro400MMC, is seen deep in the torrential rain working a 99 to sunny old Bridlington, where it will subsequently change over to work Park & Ride service 88 there.
