New to Lincolnshire Roadcar in early 2006, shortly before the buyout of roadcar to Stagecoach. Spent time at various depots including Lincoln and Skegness.
Here we have a video of the last closed top G1 left in the Stagecoach fleet! I’ve been wanting to sample this bus for a long long time as it brings back so many memories from my Skeg holiday in 2012 as I remember riding one in the way to butlins.
It’s a shame there is a massive B7 cull within Stagecoach at the moment, it means that all the Vykings and Geminis will be gone very soon. Thankfully local veg I know in Scunthorpe have managed to secure a Vyking in Preservation at the trolleybus museum!
16944 seems in very good condition, the engine is just purring along, the gearbox is very quite which is a good thing since a loud ZF gearbox means the thing is starting to get knackered. The bodywork and paint all seemed in excellent condition too, I reckon 16944 is definitely suitable for preservation if anyone is able to acquire it!
I’m gonna stop writing otherwise I’m gonna end up writing a full of novel but there we go! Enjoy!
This bus was working the 3 service between Skegness Interchange and Ingoldmells Anchor Lane.
Filmed between Skegness seafront and Fantasy Island
