Norwich Interlude

A brief visit to Norwich today with some thirty minutes observing activity at the Red Lion Street/ Theatre Street junction

My first photo is that of Simonds MAN AE55MVK on St Stephens Street awaiting at the traffic lights approaching the junction.

Although the camera was pointed in the direction of the sun the

shot came out ok.

Then, as if to reinforce the fact that it really is summer, an open topper passed in the form of McMaster Awaydays G520VBB

A Leyland Olympian with a Northern Counties body, it was working the Norwich Sightseeing Service.

G520VBB was new to Kentish Bus in January 1990.

The best appeared to have been saved for last, as making its turn into Theatre Street was First's Volvo B7L/Wright Eclipse 66334 MV02VBZ.

This former First Northampton bus was expected to be first of a batch for Norwich to replace existing Scanias and Darts.
It has since been suggested that this has been called off with 66334 remaining here.
