21/2/17: Some of the best sightings from the last few days

Sorry about the lack of an update recently, I had work that needed doing for college so today I am going to post some of the best sightings I gathered from the 16/2/17 to yesterday (20/2/17).
First of all, we have a very unusual working from the 16th. Here is a Stagecoach Gold X46/X47 branded Scania Enviro 400 on the D1 to Daventry at the Drapery, Northampton. The fleet number is 15940, and as far as I am aware this does not happen very often (probably as often as getting a double decker on the 15!).

Next, on the same day for some reason 28632 and 37055 swapped places. As a result 37055 was on the X7 and 28632 went on the 8, which is very rare (if a replacement bus goes on the 8, it is usually a E200).

On Saturday that week, I was in Newark-on-Trent. Whilst I was there I grabbed a photo of 36450 which was a recent transfer from Banbury to Lincoln. This bus was operating the 3 to Hawtonville, a local route in Newark. Stagecoach outstation any buses that they use in Newark at the Travel Wright depot in Newark Industrial Estate.

And finally, yesterday saw the appearance of 37064 (a D1/D2/D3) on the 7 to Moulton Park, which replaced a broken down 18406. 37064 was on the 1 for the day until this happened.
