Stagecoach South East... It is always encouraging when companies recognise their heritage and Stagecoach UK Bus has done that over several years by supporting its operating companies when they want to retain a significantly appropriate vehicle for special events and display purposes. So it has to be top marks to Managing Director Philip Norwell and his team at Stagecoach South East for ensuring that a typical Stagecoach 1990s-style minibus, the Mercedes-Benz 709D/Alexander Sprint remains as an example of the then standard Stagecoach minibus. Work on the restoration of East Kent 933 (Stagecoach 40933 - N933NAP) has now been completed and with thanks to Philip Norwell we are able to give a preview of the newly-restored vehicle.
