Battle Backgrounds

[Chris]

I'll admit that I'm not very locationally creative when it comes to East Sussex - very much a classic "find where the buses are and stand there". 

Battle does provide a few easier options that aren't Abbey Green, though, and I took advantage of both between rail replacement vehicles yesterday. 

Standard E200 36858 was captured outside Battle Station on the 1066, with poppy seasonal adornment. I can't help but wonder if Stagecoach's placement on the blind box is for easier removal, rather than Arriva's panel-based placement. 

A few moments later, E400 15489 is seen exiting Marley Lane whilst on a hospital-bound 95, having served Coronation Gardens. Not quite the shot I was hoping for, but the angle of the road doesn't allow much warning for the arrival of the bus!

"Not quite the shot I was hoping for, but the angle of the road doesn't allow much warning for the arrival of the bus!", Yeah and the cars don't help either, I was one of the motorists that drove in front of you while you were snapping that 95..., I did wonder if that was you!
I also saw Route 1066 in Robertsbridge but since I couldn't decide whether to capture it coming or going, I did both, with GN13EXP 36858 meeting GN13EXW 36864 and passing a memorial to the fallen.
