15079 Stagecoach on the route 161 to Chislehurst, War Memorial
Last night, 15079 made a rare appearance on the 161 and it was the first Scania to stray on the route for this long under Stagecoach.
Since Stagecoach took over the route, Scanias haven’t done it due to many different factors such as lack of blinds, type training and the ULEZ (even though these are Euro 6!!).
When the route was under Metrobus/GAL, it was allocated 974-978 which did it on a daily basis, however when it passed over to Stagecoach it has been mainly hybrid operation with the occasional diesel E400s, so it was nice to have one of these back on here again!
Unfortunately this working is unlikely to happen again, so therefore this was the first proper time and most likely the last time a Scania would do the 161.
