Odd workings on Wave 99 part 2

This is Part 2 of my odd workings on the Wave 99 Post this post features the Double Deckers that have made odd workings on the Wave 99 recently yesterdays featured the Single Deckers link is on Twitter if you haven't read it yet. Vehicles are from Stagecoach Eastbourne, Stagecoach Hastings and a really odd working of a Folkestone Bus on the route a couple of weeks ago.

The photos I have got for you are not just my pictures there are some from my contributors in Hastings Harry P, Harry H and Alex F. The Buses feature Enviro400s ,Tridents and Olys all of which have made some odd appearances on the Wave 99. Not many Enviro400s in the photos the majority of the images are Tridents. 

Enviro400s: Both Enviro400 images are of 09 plate Enviro400s one in which is branded for the Wave 100/101/102 the other in standard livery.

Odd Workings on Wave 99 Post Part 1

Every Bus enthusiast would love to see a rare working, This has been the most recent case with Stagecoach Eastbourne and Stagecoach Hastings Wave 99 service between Eastbourne and Hastings/Silverhill. I said Stagecoach Eastbourne because some of their Buses have been running alongside the Hastings Buses on the 99.

This post features the Single Deckers that have been on the 99 before there also has been a couple of Enviro300s do it as well before but the pic I took isn't a really good photo and I wish I could put it on this post.

My contibuters in Hastings the Sihbeg group have also provided me with pictures and i'm crediting them in this little section here.

Tribute to 2 East Sussex Enviro400s

I wasn't going to do a post tonight because of my 2 Parter on tomorrow and Monday but I decided to. I was scrolling through my Hangouts and I saw something about 2 Sussex Enviro400s leaving tomorrow. They are 15502 ( GN09 BCX ) and 15702 ( GN60 FCY ). They are leaving for Folkestone who already have loads of Enviro400s. I would like to give them a big send off in this post and I will miss both so much.

The pictures I have off them are both Buses on the 99 from this year and last and I have put them together off the same bus.

I first saw GN60 FCY in April on the 99 when I attended the launch of the new Coaster Buses for Brighton and Hove it looked like a really nice Bus with different seats than most of the Enviro400s. The seats are found on Lowestoft and Yarmouth Based 58 plate Geminis. I was lucky enough to get photos of 15702 on its last day in Sussex Service.

I saw GN09 BCX last year a couple of times on the 99 it never appeared on it much.  

15702 GN60 FCY:

I know this a sad post but these Buses will be missed and tomorrow I will be posting my first part of odd workings on the Wave 99. I would like to wish 15502 and 15702 all the best in Folkestone.

Different Liveries Brighton and Hove

Loads of different liveries are worn by the buses of Brighton and Hove. I will try and name most of them worn by their Double Deckers they are the Standard livery, Route Branding Get On Go Somewhere, Coaster, WW1 one, the Pier Bus , overall advertising wraps and a couple advertising Brighton's Footy team.

First up the Standard livery

Now onto some Stagecoach news:

2. V106 MEV getting towed away 
3. Former London Trident LX51 FOM enters service
4. Another Solo joins the Eastbourne fleet

A very detailed Gemini 2 with Brighton and Hove

A smaller post than usual this week ( but not that much smaller ) and it features one of the most detailed Buses ever with Brighton and Hove. The bus is a Gemini 2 registered BJ11 XHX and it carries a fleetnumber of 421. With Brighton and Hove all their buses have 3 digits in their fleet number.

I know some people won't like this bus but it is one of the most detailed Buses I have seen. The bus was done up for a festival called Brighton Fringe with Performances actually being on the bus itself. The photos I have got for you are of it a few weeks ago on the 13X. The bus has had a change in livery, new seat covers, really colourful lights inside and it has a silver looking destination board and on the top of the bus there is a little logo saying get busy. It also has under Brighton and Hove Get On Go Somewhere. 

Now onto the pics:

First Up BJ11 XHX is loading at bus stop J on the 13X.

Doesn't it look detailed BJ11 XHX loading

 The final photo is of BJ11 XHX departing after loading. 

Leaving Eastbourne 

The work on this bus took a really long time to complete from start to finish.

The very last Enviro300 to lose its UNO branding

The UNO branding in Eastbourne has become extinct with the very last branded Enviro300 getting  debranded a few weeks ago, the Enviro300 is 28610 ( GN61 EVR ).

I saw the bus just over a week ago without the branding which shows that it has now been debranded and it marked the end of the UNO branding.

The photos I have for you on this post are of 28610 before the debranding took place and after the debranding with 28610 being like all the other Enviro300s with the exception of 27582 and 28606 that have the additional white bit on the front.

The first photo is of 28610 in March this year still in the branding it is seen out of service near the Town Centre.

28610 in UNO branding March 2015

 The next couple are of 28610 recently without the branding the photos below show it working the 1 to Hailsham.
