Another recently returning from Scotland, and observed in use today, was 35288 SL67 VXS heading for Longwater Retail Park.

Today it is seen awaiting the arrival of the grim reaper to take it on its finally journey to the scrapyard, which is expected to happen sometime tomorrow.

Norwich Monday

Three photos selected from a number sent in by Norwich regular Dan High highlighting activity in the City earlier today.


Our first shows that Ipswich reds continue to appear with Wrightbus StreetDeck 35919 BN72 TVL operating an 11A Sprowston service.


The second is of Eastern Counties heritage liveried Volvo B9TL /Wright Eclipse Gemini BN12 JVF. Number 36183 is seen on its way to Thorpe St Andrew on the 24 route.


His final contribution is a photo of former Whippet Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse BF63 HFB heading eastbound in Castle Meadow. Its last known place of residence was the Zero2 Bus Museum in Essex. However, Dan recognised the driver who was from Sanders Coaches and so it is probably connected with them.

My thanks Dan for the information and photos.
