Anglianbus Fleet Update

Beccles-based Anglianbus, which operates on many routes through the East Norfolk area has recently published its latest fleetlist on its website.

The three new Scania Omnilinks have been registered AN61LAN (439), AN61BUS (440) and AU61AVK (441). Number 439 is operating from Beccles whilst 440 and 441 are located at Rackheath, Norwich.

A fifth ex-Stagecoach London Trident has been acquired in the shape of V161MEV. The 80 seater is currently at Beccles and was noted earlier in the week in a 'rubbed down' state in the yard of Car and Commercials in the Suffolk town. It has subsequently been reported in Lowestoft this evening wearing Anglian fleet livery. Recently acquired Optare Solo YN04LWP has become 326 in the fleet and is also allocated to Rackheath.

On the minus side, only two of the former Chester Bus Scania L113 Wright Axcess Flolines are retained in service - 415 and 416. The former was noted operating the A47 service between Norwich and Gorleston for most of today. The three withdrawn examples are being offered for sale on the Anglianbus website

There is no mention in the fleetlist of Wright StreetLite MX60GXC which is believed to have been on short term loan from dealer Mistral.
