Good evening readers, welcome to another blog post. I found out this morning on a chat, that 17528/9 (LX51 FOM/N) are being replaced by older 17636/7 (W636/7 RND). These W regs are Ex Magic Bus and large numbers are being transferred to Stagecoach South East. It is understood that they will be converted to open top by having their roof chopped off and are getting repainted again.
I went on 17528 a lot more than 17529 by going on 17528 seven times and 17529 only twice. 17528 will be the main focus for this post 17529 will be in part two.
Before I go onto 17528s rare workings here is this shot of 17528 on one of the days I went on it is seen on the 56 with a Wave 99 Scania behind.

Here are some of its rare and mis allocated workings:
The rarest working I have seen 17528 on is the normally Solo operated 3A it is seen in the photo on the 3A earlier this year this working was so rare because Doubles are hardly ever on the 3/3A so I was happy that I got a decent one of it on the 3A.

17528 has also appeared on the Eastbourne Loop a few times which is normally operated by Enviro200s.

17528 has also appeared on the 99 a few times the 99 is normally worked by Wave branded Scania Enviro400s and here is 17528 having a day out on the 99.

17528 has also appeared on the 1/1A which I haven't got a decent photo of.
17528s main route:
Both 17528/9 were allocated to the 56 a route that isn't even busy and should really have Solos and Darts on it instead.

In part two I will be doing a farewell to 17529 and some of the workings it did whilst it was here.
