Stagecoach in Eastbourne Sightings

[JFO]

While in the Eastbourne Area on Saturday 10th, I captured Stagecoach recently repainted Solo 47174 YJ05XNH passing Pevensey Castle on ESCC Route 8, while E200 36903 GN13HHU was framed through the entrance, and then at the Depot, Solo's 47065 SF04SKJ and 47120 GX54DXV were noted with red steering wheel covers, following the recent arival of 2 SoloSR's from Manchester.

[Nicholas King]

Do we have positive evidence that both Solos have reached Eastbourne from Manchester?

                Other sources only report 48025 so far, with 48024 still to turn up, having been out of use since 21st November.

48025 has been parked up in Birch Road Depot for about 5 weeks now (seen here not long after it arrived). I've been told be a friend who works there, that it was used on staff shuttles to town one Sunday and hasn't moved since. They seem to have since started taking parts off it now. I've yet to sight 024 in the yard.

I did look out for those two SRs that day but I did not see them, even in the depot, as I would have reported it if they were there, however I did also drive through Hastings on the way home and ex Manchester E200 36110 MX59JDJ was noted in Hastings Depot.
Do check in with Harry Powell though as he gets over to Eastbourne much more frequently than I do, once a week I think he said.

[Nicholas King]

Many thanks for this, Harry.

                Whilst on message, are the remains of 19662 still at Eastbourne?  It seems to be the last one not yet reported as collected by Ensign from their recent sales.

Whats left of 19662 was still in Birch Road depot at the start of this week, I've not been passed since so I'm not sure if it has since been collected for scrap.

36110 did see a week and a half in service in Hastings when it first arrived, before suffering from an engine failure. It is back out in service now and was working the 29/312/313 earlier today. I'm not sure if anyone has posted any photos of it in here before, so here's one of it working the 100 on 01/02/2024.

[Nicholas King]

Thank you, Harry!

 

Best wishes

19662 is no longer at Birch Road, so was towed away at some point over the last week.

[Nicholas King]

Thank you again, Harry.
