Ex First Eastern Counties Buses in Essex

Volvo B10LE 60864 R642CVR in Gorleston High Street
on 25th February 2010

Regular reader Peter from Essex reports on the recent activities of former First Eastern Counties vehicles now with First Essex

He says that former Great Yarmouth vehicle, Wright Renown bodied Volvo B10BLE 60864 R642CVR, will probably be scrapped after she caught fire on the A130 road earlier this morning.

The incident was reported in both the Brentwood Gazette and the Eastern Daily Times and despite the former saying it was 60865, it can be clearly seen from their photo that it was 60864! (confirmed on Essex Buses Group)

Peter also reports that two former Lowestoft MPDs 43357 V357DVG and 43359 V359DVG are both operating from Hadleigh in Essex with the latter still sporting a fetching offside advert for Dinosaur Adventure Park in Lenwade Norfolk! A picture of her can be seen here

My thanks to Peter for the report
