It is thought the cause might have been an electrical or engine problem with a diesel bus which received significant damage. Damage was also done to the road surface.requiring the Highways Agency to be called out. At the moment the identity of the vehicle involved is not known.
On a positive note, two more of Anglian's new MAN EcoCity gas powered buses were due to enter service on the 588 route yesterday between Haleworth and Norwich via Bungay. This now brings the total to ten of them now in service with just three more outstanding.
For the record the fleet numbers and corresponding registrations of the ten already in service are:-
601 WX62HHP 602 WX62HGU 603 WX62HHF 604 WX62HHE 605 WX62HGG
606 WX62HFU 607 AU62DWN 608 AU62DWL 609 AU62DWG 610 AU62DWC
606 WX62HFU 607 AU62DWN 608 AU62DWL 609 AU62DWG 610 AU62DWC
