Stagecoach East Midlands 10972
One consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic which has received little if any media coverage has been usage of the 14 Pronto-liveried E400MMCs at Stagecoach's Mansfield depot on a wider range of routes than the Chesterfield to Nottingham service they are dedicated to. This reached a peak in April and May when they were used to cover just about every service where clearance was not an issue on the temporarily curtailed network. Usage elsewhere has fallen since the Pronto reverted to its pre-pandemic timetable in August and is now largely limited to Sundays. The 12B - which is a Sunday-only hourly service combining the Mon-Sat 11 and 12 - regularly receives two Pronto deckers, and SN18KTF (10972) captured here passing beneath the former LD&ECR line and current High Marnham Test Track in Warsop Vale with the 09:05 journey from Mansfield to Shirebrook.
