[GB] Company Profile - Stagecoach Lincolnshire (Pt. 2)

Continuing last week's Company Profile, this week we'll be looking at Stagecoach Lincolnshire's single decker fleet, which is, surprising, a mixed bag.

Stagecoach's love affair with the Volvo B10M is well known, but through acquisition it has built up an increasing number of B10Bs as well. Most of them has the Wright Endurance bodywork, like 21014:



Another Volvo in this fleet is an extremely rare breed - 21076 is a B10L with the Saffel bodywork. The only of its type in Britain, this is formerly a Volvo demonstrator:



Stagecoach Lincolnshire also has a number of DAFs in its fleet. This one, 26059, is one of the very few Optare Delta still in service within Stagecoach across the country.



Another - much newer - type is the low floor SB220LF with ELC Myllenium bodywork.



The L94UB/Wright combination is not uncommon across the country - First have lots of them for instance. For Stagecoach though, this is another rare type - counting the latest takeover of Rapsons in Scotland, there are just 10 of these within Stagecoach:



Of course, with Stagecoach at the helm, the standard type - MAN 18.220s - has been brought in to an already mixed fleet of full size single deckers:



The midibus fleet is just as confusing. It has a fleet of low floor Darts bought new by its predecessor, Lincolnshire Road Car:



....and also some cascaded from other Stagecoach subsidaries - 34188 was new to Stagecoach London as SLD188:



And then in around 2002/3, Lincolnshire Road Car turned to MAN as their midibus supplier:



Soon they turned to Optare for the Solos. Most are the longer 9.2m version:



and it also has a number of the hideously long - 10.2m - Solos as well:

Is Saffel a British body builder?

No, it's Swedish, apparently it's part of Volvo Buses.
