ADL E300s Tribute





 

A couple of weeks ago I received a DM on Twitter from Steven Knight saying that 12 Enviro400s were transferring to Eastbourne sometime this month they are due to replace the 12 58 Plate ADL E300s with Enviro300 bodywork that are currently used on the 1/1A and other routes and have fleetnumbers of 27571-27582 it is certain that they all will be transferring elsewhere out of the fleet here it will leave the 5 Scania Enviro300s ( 28606 - 28610 ) behind which are staying.

 

 

I have been on some of the ADL E300s and the ones that I have for you on the blog are ADL E300s I have been on the Loop or 1A most if not all gave good rides.

 

 

Now onto 4 of my best pictures that I have off some of them:

 

 

First up we have 27571 ( GX58 GKA ) it is photographed on the 1A service to Shinewater when I went on it gave a good ride however it didn't sound itself for some of the ride.

 The next couple I have for you are 27577 and  27578 ( GX58 GKJ and GX58 GKK ) both are photographed on the 1A. When I went on both they sounded really good GX58 GKK is the better one and when I went on GX58 GKJ it spent ages sat at a junction for ages and waiting for some traffic to clear.

 The last ADL E300 I have for you is 27582 ( GX58 GKP ) photographed on the 1A it has had its livery changed a little bit when it was debranded it has an additional white area added to its livery in between the 2 front lights. I have been on this bus twice both on different routes the 1A and the Eastbourne Loop which it worked today I was lucky I got a ride on and it was my first Non- Enviro200 Loop in ages and it can cope really well on the Loop.

I will miss all these ADL E300s but they haven't gone yet which is good they are all still here.

Now off the E300s and onto Enviro400 19019 ( MX06 XAU ) I remember publishing a post that it had transferred to Hastings but that is wrong because it only was on loan to Hastings and has sinced returned off loan back to Eastbourne.
