Ex Stagecoach Devon Scanias

[Neil Gow]

I haven't made it south to picture the ex Stagecoach South West Scanias yet so for now it's a case of "here's one I made earlier". This isn't the first time that some of these vehicles have operated in Kent, as many will recall that some were here in 2021 operating on the Sandwich Golf shuttle services. Three I captured on 17th July that year were 15311, now running in Hastings, 15318 currently awaiting entry to service (according to Bustimes) and 15324 not yet received here (again, according to Bustimes).

It's also not the first time that Scanias with the fleetnumbers 15311 and 15312 have operated in the Stagecoach East Kent fleet. The previous 15311 and 15312 were Alexander bodied Scanias F781/2 KKP new to East Kent prior to takeover by Stagecoach.
