Stagecoach East
The repaint of former Stagecoach West Scania/Enviro 400 15641 into pink Cancer Research UK ‘Race for Life’ livery has now been completed.
Look out for three former ‘Little & Often’ Mercedes-Benz Sprinters entering service in Cambridge. They are needed for shuttle services during the closure Mill Road railway bridge, which is on the Citi 2 route. Two of the three vehicles have been identified as 44005/06 which have latterly been in use with Stagecoach South Wales.
We understand that Dart SLF 34422 may now have been stood down at Bedford prior to a return to Cambridge where it is part of the training fleet

Recent fleet changes here have seen the Rennies double deck fleet upgraded with cascaded vehicles. One Trident that has been operating from the Rennies depot for some time is 18131, which was transferred to this fleet from Stagecoach South West. It is pictured in North Queensferry below the imposing Forth Rail Bridge returning to depot after working the SC8 service from St Columba’s High School.
