Stagecoach North East - 16839 - R839OVN by aureolindn, on Flickr

It was only repainted last December, so the paint should still be pretty fresh on it. 19643 and 22050 were also immaculately presented.

I have to admit that I wasn't particularly fond of the seating in 16833. The 'back' of the bench-style seating had pretty much no cushion there whatsoever (although the bottoms of the seats seemed to have recently been re-trimmed?). Great performer, but poor level of comfort.

Could well be my final ride on one of Stagecoach's Volys, though, so all in all a decent ride!
