Here we have another Stagecoach Midlands Scania, though this one is part of the KX10 batch which has been with Stagecoach Midlands for its entire life. It is seen here on the route it is branded for, the X18, which has the bus being maxed out along the A46.
In my opinion, its an improvement over 15452 which I rode last time, some of the seats at the back were leather coated while some weren't but it was still a nice touch. It had a good amount of power and felt smooth too, and there was even an instance of kickdown which sounded very good.
Despite there being 5 Scanias branded for the X18, the route is mostly operated with Unibus branded Enviro400MMCs with Scanias as the second option.
