Surprise, Surprise!

Ipswich Buses Scania/East Lancs 61 PJ54YZU soaking up the sun!

Shopping in sunny Great Yarmouth this afternoon and, after observing First Olympians 34108 and 34109 hard at work in Market Gates, I walked briskly to Beach Coach station to log the deckers working the Bernard Matthews contract today

I got there just in time to see President 32204 LT52WTK leading the charge with ALX400 32063 W223XBD bringing up the rear.

As they drove away my attention was drawn to the seven occupants of the coach station, especially the surprise appearance of a decker. The bus was an East Lancs OmniDekka bodied Scania N94UD from the Ipswich Buses fleet. No 61 PJ54YZU, in its new livery, was on an excursion from its home town

The other occupants included two coaches from the Richmond's of Royston's Hertfordshire fleet - 648EAU and YER469. The others were Bova YJ08NTD of Nova Tours, Derbyshire, Setra W26HOL from Welsh's Tours, County Lion's Mercedes L1ONU and AA11ALS of Al's Coaches of Merseyside
