Trident that made a comeback to Eastbourne for a little bit

Good evening everyone and welcome to my new blog post. You may remember that months ago I paid tribute to Trident/ALX400 18529 ( GX06 DYT ) on its move from Eastbourne to Ashford back in March/April this year. I knew I wouldn't see it again but months later 18529 came back to Eastbourne to cover for an Enviro400 that went to Ashford possibly for a repaint for one week only and this is what my blog post is going to be about. You all are possibly aware at Ashford 18529 has had quite a few problems ouch.

Picture time now:

A rather dirty looking 18529 on the 51

18529 leading a Solo and Enviro400 the Enviro400 I think is an SP60 

18529 waiting to do a trip on the 99

18529 loading sorry about blind not showing in this one

18529 on the 1 all the way to Hailsham
I only found out about this last week when someone sent a message saying they feel sorry for me because Stagecoach Eastbourne were getting 18529 for a little while enjoy the read. :-)

Double Deckers on Loop revisited

Good Evening everyone,welcome to my new blog post. You may remember ages ago I wrote a post on Double Deckers on the Loop a route that is meant to be operated by Enviro200s. Well since that last post I did, my phone, which I've used as my camera has caught some more Double Deckers on the Loop because more Double Deckers have appeared on it since that last post I've not taken pics of all the Double Deckers I've seen on it just some.

The Loop can be a bit busy sometimes with the Single Deckers that are allocated to it so Stagecoach have started to put Double Deckers on it a bit releasing some of the Enviro200s to other routes like the 1/1A. The Double Decker Buses I've included in this post are: 19049 ( MX56 FRU ), 19654 ( SP60 DPX ), 18173 ( GX54 DVR ), 17529 ( LX51 FON ), 17528 ( LX51 FOM ), 19650 ( SP60 DTN ) and 19651 ( SP60 DPO ). Enough of that onto the pictures:

19654 ( SP60 DPX ) 

Enviro400 19651 ( SP60 DPO ) on the Eastbourne Loop
After I write this post there might be more Double Deckers appearing on the Eastbourne Loop. Look out for my picture of 19651 ( SP60 DPO ) on Flickr because that will be up in the next few days this post is like another part to the one I did in September.

More and More Rail Replacement

Welcome everyone to my new blog post, you may remember that a few weeks ago I did a Rail Replacement post on some of the Buses that replaced trains due to engineering works. Well last Sunday Buses and Coaches replaced trains again this time between Eastbourne and Lewes. I would like to thank Harry P for letting me know about the Rail Replacement the day before and in advance. Without you I wouldn't of known about it. 

So last Sunday I headed into town and the Station to see what was being used on it. This time Stagecoach South and Renown did it along with Southern Transit and Seaford and District as well as some Coach companies now onto the pictures.

Stagecoach South:
