Gerrard Fletcher reports on his excellent X1 blog that 'this looks like being the week that the new Enviro buses are due to arrive'. 

Additional accommodation at Kings Lynn is currently being sought whilst the newcomers are being delivered and Gerrard suggests that if this is not forthcoming then Norwich's Roundtree Way site will be used as a temporary measure

As the present Gemini fleet are gradually being replaced on X1 duties, the question arises as to where they will end up. Gerrard says this will start with the Volvo B7s 37156-60, AU07DXS/T/V-X, which will go to Newcastle-Under-Lyme.

His blog also further states 37563-69 AU58ECA/C-F/J/N are returning to Lowestoft for work on the X2 Lowestoft Norwich service whilst 37570-9 AU58ECT/V-Z will go to Great Yarmouth for use on the X1 shorts and other associated services.
