Adam's Bus Adventures

Over the half term holiday (Thursday & Friday) I was lucky enough to go and see and ride on for the first time in public service was Stephenson's of Essex (Rochford) based Scania N250UD Enviro 400 MMC 621 EU23BZL which for three days operated service 24 Southend-Southchurch Archer Avenue.  I was very impressed with how the bus performed it rode very smoothly and I hope to ride on it very soon at either shows or in public service again.  621 EU23BZL pictured on Thursday 22nd Feb at a very wet Whittingham Avenue.  On Friday I had the pleasure of seeing 621 again as I popped back into Southend to meet my friend and we both decided to go on this beauty again after doing 2 rounds of service 17 Leigh-on-sea station-Southend Travel Centre on another bus which I'll post about soon. 

On Saturday, I was in Colchester Osbourne Street and this Ex-First Hadleigh Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse Urban 2 69520 BJ11ECW which wears the Thamesway Heritage livery.  This bus was new in 2011 for the Chelmsford Park & Ride service from Sandon to Chelmer Valley Park & Ride sites the vehicle was then transferred to First Hadleigh in 2017 and remained in black and gained 22/28 branding along with sisters 69515/16/17/18 & 69519 BJ11ECN/ECE/ECD/ECT & BJ11ECV.  69520 BJ11ECW from a rear view angle.
