Lowestoft Interlude

Spent some time in Lowestoft today and in between the shopping there was some time for some observations in the Gordon Road area in or near the bus station.

As I arrived, the 13.38 X2 left Lowestoft for Norwich worked by First's 32656 (AU05MVA) shown above. A number of these ALX400s were transferred to X2 duties in early December following poor performance by the Volvo/Presidents. (Unfortunately the low sun was reflected on the front windscreen in the photo)

In the opposite direction former Great Yarmouth Dart 42451 (R451CCV) was loading its passengers for the 13.43 102 service to Oulton.

At just before 14.00, one of Anglian's Optare Solos headed for the bus station on the 525 route from Carlton Colville. It was 326 (YN04LWP) acquired from Veolia in September last year.

Another ALX 400 did the honours on the next X2 to Norwich. This time it was First's 32651 (AU05MUO) on the 14.08 departure

Finally, Nightingales' Mercedes SF59BXR left the bus station on the 14.35 108 Oulton Circular
