Purple Haze

With the appearance of a First Norwich Purple Line decker at Caister Road today, I just had to entitle this post Purple Haze as a tribute to my favourite rock guitarist, singer and songwriter Jimi Hendrix.

The bus was Dennis Trident 33166 LR02LYD and was at First Great Yarmouth's depot for its annual MOT. It was quickly borrowed for use in  service as one of its StreetLites was in London today providing shuttles between the London Excel centre and the various sports venues for the World Paralympic Athletics Championships.

My thanks to Will Drake for the photo and to Simon Taylor for the information regarding the use of 47504 (SN64CPY)
