Stagecoach East Midlands (LRCC) 54077 (SF59 FYW) in Doncaster - 4 May 2019 (P1010710)

Saturday 4 May 2019 (1328) – I had just travelled from Hull to Doncaster on board Stagecoach East Midlands (Lincolnshire Road Car) 54077 (SF59 FYW) but this was the best shot I got in the subterranean depths of Doncaster’s Frenchgate bus station before the coach continued on its way.

The coach is a Plaxton Panther bodied Volvo B12BT new in November 2009 to Stagecoach Scotland (Western Buses) which was operating the 1205 MegabusPlus service MP3 from Hull. Normally this service runs from Hull to East Midlands Parkway Railway Station in Nottinghamshire from where passengers then board the train to continue to London (St. Pancras). However, today was different as a result of the railway line closure for maintenance work so the coach was running all the way to the capital.
