Stagecoach Heritage Bus

[DD12]

Yes, JJD 565D is still owned by Stagecoach (fleet number 12565) and I think is still normally based at Stratford.

Details of its history are on this site here - http://midlandred.net/vehicles/fleetlis ... 5Ejjd565d$
.

Thanks "JT", -
- Because I've not been particularly interested in Stratford in recent years, I hadn't even noticed that there's a current Fleet List for "Midland Red South"
on this website ! -
So apologies to Adam, who has been incredibly productive !!

I used to recieve regular updates on the Midland Red (South) fleet movments but these stopped last winter so the fleet list on this website is at least 6 months out of date now, maybe more.

This bus has spent a bit of time down at Stagecoach West in Gloucester.
It's has been helping out on private hire mainly weddings throughout the summer. Though a Routemaster did do most of the work.
A few weeks ago was the last wedding, that the private hire team did.
I believe the company will no longer do private hire, from now on.

Not a heritage bus as such , but I have been told that "one of the new d/d's has been painted in Stratford Blue livery". As the guy who presented Police Five ? on ATV would have said, "keep 'em peeled" . . . . .

Well maybe not that new !! A bit of delving shows it to be a few years old in KX10KTE/15675. Still can not remember the name of the guy on Police 5 though ? ! ?

For the record, 15675 - a Scania/Enviro 400 - was officially launched in Stratford Blue livery on Friday 26 January. It is of course allocated to Stratford outstation, so it no doubt will appear regularly in Evesham on the X18.
