First Divert & Repaint Update

Since 30th March last, First Great Yarmouth has had to divert its service 4 between Caister-on-Sea and town's Barrack Estate.The route links the two destinations with the town centre and has been amended following the closure of St Hilda Road in Caister due to footway resurfacing work

Ex First Essex Dart 42929 SN05EAJ turning into Braddock Road from Ormesby Road on the divert this morning

The bus continues southbound along Ormesby Road but instead heads east into Braddock Road prior to taking up its normal route. The work is expected to last for fifteen weeks which means normal working should resume during mid July

Meanwhile, news on the repaint front regarding the ALX400s is that 32064 W224XBD returned to Rotherham last night for its repaint.
