Details: The fact that the Stagecoach garage in Rainham has gained four hired Mercedes minibuses (and also a VW Transporter and a car) is surprising, given that the existing allocation was of no fewer than eight Hyundai I800 minibuses. Actually, it was probably seven as it looks like 93641 was withdrawn a while ago. Even so, that is a lot of crew ferries for a garage which runs a maximum of about 115 buses. Ray found three of the Hyundais parked at Rainham Tesco on 17th July 2021. Although barely noticeable, 93649 (DV68TTZ) on the right is unique in being unmarked, and it originally worked from West Ham Garage. 93651 (DV68TTU) on the left and 93650 (DV68TTO) behind have the normal set of red lettering, comprising the fleetnumber under the mirrors and 'Operations Rainham' on the passenger door. It is hard to see due to the reflections, but the Stagecoach name was originally carried alongside the logo on the bonnet.
