Remembering the "Manchester MagicBuses"

[JFO]

Hi Everyone, with Christmas probably cancelled this year, at the suggestion of a fellow group member I bumped into this week, I thought I would provide a little sparkle by remembering the "Manchester MagicBus" ALX400 Trident Buses Stagecoach South East operated between 2015 and late 2016.
Now as you'd expect I didn't think much of any of these vehicles, though I will admit I thought the W-RND's had slightly more comfortable seats compared with the hard bench seats in the V-regs. and to start with this selection features some of the W-RND's, of which I caught most of them at least once (excecpt for 17637 W637RND and 17638 W638RND), mainly around Dover.

Continuing to remember the "Manchester MagicBus" ALX400 Trident Buses Stagecoach South East operated between 2015 and late 2016, I also caught some of the V-regs too, and once again I thought even less of these vehicles hence why I didn't snap many of them espcially the V-DFT's, with this final selection of shots featuring ex London 17176 V176MEV which never entered service, 17619 V619DJA which wasn't in service as long as some of the others, and a 6 vehicle V-DFT convoy featuring 17664 V164DFT, 17665 V165DFT, 17666 V166DFT, 17667 V167DFT, 17668 V168DFT and 17669 V169DFT, all seen passing Dover Eastern Docks Ferry Port while on their way to Eastbourne for storage in June 2016, which still seems to be one of my most popular shots ever acording to that fellow group member, even though it was an unexpected grab shot as I was just out for a walk that day when they all appeared, and had no idea that they were coming.
