Probably didn't know that these could be used on school work! Turns out that they can because of their yellow school bus signs! Perhaps maybe not here though as 27788 features on the Pronto service as it leaves Mansfield Bus Station working from Chesterfield to Nottingham.

Complete with odd red paintwork on the right hand rear lights, 27788, an ADL/TransBus Enviro 300 in the Stagecoach Beachball livery, leaves Victoria Bus Station on a Pronto for Chesterfield.
Stagecoach East Midlands 27782 (28.01.2023)

Still with its rear advert for Macmillian, 27782, an ADL/TransBus Enviro 300, is seen at Mansfield Bus Station on a Pronto. In the end, this bus came off the route through 10977, a Pronto branded ADL Enviro 400 MMC, moving from its original slot to this one with something else presumably moving over there.

Old fox in Nottingham...

18028, a Dennis Trident Plaxton President in the original Stagecoach Beachball livery and with dot matrix displays (as it should be!) is seen leaving Victoria Bus Station on a Pronto bound for Mansfield.

After working on the 12 and 23, I believe this President later replaced a Pronto branded E400 MMC on the Pronto service, most likely the one that moved to do other work. Because of this bus's appearance on the Pronto, a run back to Nottingham was on the cards! 18028 with dot matrix displays and Beachball livery arrives at Mansfield Bus Station with a Pronto from Chesterfield to Nottingham.

Stagecoach East Midlands 18164 (28.01.2023)

One of Mansfield's two ALX400 Tridents with the dot matrix displays on decided to make a Pronto appearance and when it signed on, the camera was at the ready! 18164 is seen leaving Mnasfield Bus Station on a Pronto to Nottingham.

Shame that this doesn't have the dot matrix displays any more being one of the oldest ALX 400 Tridents in Mansfield but oh well! Seeing it on the Pronto with orange LED displays instead will suffice! 17717 leaves Mansfield Bus Station on a Pronto to Nottingham. In the end, this was on the 7 and 16 before moving here.

Stagecoach East Midlands 18416 (28.01.2023)

A lot of Tridents were snapped on the Pronto today, this being the first for me! 18416 arrives and departs Mansfield Bus Station on a Pronto from Nottingham to Chesterfield.

Stagecoach East Midlands 11278 (28.01.2023)

The only spare in Mansfield to sport silver/white LED displays with the exception of their on-loan E200 MMC's, so one to keep an eye out for if you're in this area! 11278, an E400 MMC in Beachball livery, is seen leaving Mansfield Bus Station going from Nottingham to Chesterfield on the Pronto service.

Stagecoach East Midlands 11278 (28.01.2023)

A big load of spares saw Pronto use today, so no wonder the 'Pronto' spare was out there to assist! 11278, an E400 MMC in Beachball livery, heads on Mansfield Road with a Pronto to Nottingham.
