Gorleston Sightings

A short outing to Gorleston High Street this afternoon where I observed BorderBus' recently acquired Alexander Dennis Enviro200 on the 580 to Beccles and Bungay.

YX09HZH was new to Dunn Line in July 2009 which later passed to Veolia Transport and Tates Travel of Barnsley. Following the collapse of the South Yorkshire operator in February this year, the saloon found itself at bus dealers Ensign from where BorderBus acquired it last month

I made my way back through Shrublands Estate and was surprised to see a southbound First service to the James Paget Hospital using the southern part of Almond Road heading east! The only reason I could suggest that happening was that Forsythia Road was temporarily blocked; as the northbound service successfully negotiated its normal route only minutes later.
