Quartet On The Move

On East Yorkshire Enthusiasts Facebook Group this morning is the news that four Alexander Dennis Enviro400s had arrived on loan from Konectbus.




The quartet are Konectbus 629 SN65 OAJ, 631 SN65 OAM, 632 SN65 OAO and 633 SN65 OAP. They are still in the Norwich Park & Ride colour scheme with 632 being the first to receive East Yorkshire branding. Apparently whilst they are 'up north' the foursome are be repainted.

I am grateful to jdraves1 for his photos to illustrate this post.

Worthing Bus Changes

My daughter has sent me a couple of photos featuring Stagecoach South ADL/Transbus Enviro300 GX60 PCZ newly painted into the latest livery. It was on display on South Street in Worthing today promoting up and coming service changes in the area.



The changes are expected to take place tomorrow (Sunday) to 'provide better services and improve punctuality', so the official blurb says!. Hopefully I will be in the town towards the end of the month to sample the service for myself.

Coach Services 80

On Monday last Coach Services introduced a new 80/80A service between Thetford and Mildenhall providing an half hourly service to Brandon. jdraves1 tells me that route 80 has a school variant of the 80A which goes through Beck Row whereas the 80 avoids it.

He provides a photo of Volvo B7RLE/ Wright Eclipse Urban HF05 HXG which was spotted working the service on its first day.

Thanks again to him for providing the information and photo
