Beach Coach Station

Some unusual visitors to Beach Coach Station this afternoon comprised:-

Norse's 60 reg Volvo B12M YN60BZH pictured below

Nottingham City Coaches YN07DZG - picture and report on yesterday's post
Peelings JJZ8021 adorned with the Norfolk Mariner name - shown below

Regular visitors to the coach station also included:-
Belle Coaches  Setra 33 (LIL9715) and Scania 42 (LIL9714)
Shearings Volvo B12M 508 (MX03AAZ)

Market Gates

Just after 3pm, First Eastern Counties Gemini 37160 (AU07DXX) left Market Gates with a full load on the X1 to Peterborough with sister 37567 (AU58ECF) immediately taking her place on the stand; also  Peterborough bound. It's unusual to have the two vehicles there at the same time - perhaps the first vehicle had experienced some delays.

A little before 4 pm at least six vehicles were vying for space to pick up passengers in front of the Troll Cart Public House for their homeward journey.

 

Colchester-based Kings Tours' KC08ABC beat Sunbeam of Norwich's T777TSM to the pole position with the two Belle Coaches (seen earlier) also in the line. The other two unidentified coaches were from local operator Reynolds and another representative from Kings Tours.
