LX58CEV leaving New Bonny Street at 1545 on Thursday 8th May

Former Stagecoach London Scania Omnicity LX58CEV has been in use on the Beach Bus service 26 to Marton Mere in Blackpool this week. The open-top Scania is normally to be found operating the T1 Sightseeing Tour in Manchester, in fact this route was still being displayed in the nearside destination box while the bus was running in Blackpool. LX58CEV ran two round trips from Marton Mere holiday village on both Wednesday and Thursday afternoon this week.
