New Enviro 400 On Show

PS I couldn't persuade the Parking attendant walking by to put a ticket on the bus. Shame.
This Enviro 400, 15792 was parked in Union St, Torquay this lunch time to advertise that Stagecoach had got some new buses. Not quiet the dramatic effect of 20 buses parked on Paignton Sea Front when the last lot of new buses arrived.
There was a free entry in a prize draw for anyone who risked having a look around. I was going to put my name down but the prize wasn't a job as a Stagecoach bus driver so I didn't bother. Actually the prize was worth winning, as you can see from the 2nd photo.
Then I got a 12 to Paignton and took a photo of a broken down number 12 at the Grand. An hour later on my way home I noticed it was still there, blocking the inside lane at the traffic lights. Note; the photo was taken while I was on the bus, but I can do that now, no worries.

Don't know if the above Anonymous is having a joke and I am missing the humour but from the angle the photo is taken I believe he was a passenger at the time. As for reporting to Stagecoach I don't think he has worked for them for quite some time now.

Hi Barry, It was a joke, While I was working for Stagecoach I got into a little bit of trouble taking a photo from the drivers seat of a stationary but in service bus hence the idea of reporting me for doing it again. True the photo in this post was taken from upstairs. No where near the drivers seat.
