Another Visit to Bury St Edmunds

Stephensons Dart SLF 455 EG02NZD at the ARC shopping centre on
St Andrews Street South

Saturday saw a return visit to Bury St Edmunds and, while the other half was shopping, I spent an hour or so watching bus activity in the town

I first headed for the bus station, where I saw Stephensons' decker YN55NHB laying over between duties. The Scania N94UD was new to London United in September 2005 as their fleet number SL8
