Local First Activity

Although the title says activity, the first item relates to inactivity in that I am able to post a better photo of the only Scania saloon remaining at Caister Road for storage in the rear yard of Great Yarmouth depot.

Former Scania demonstrator 65678 YP02ABN, previously with First Essex, arrived at Caister Road from Norwich in early January and there it has stayed ever since! Apart from the odd bit of shunting around to allow other vehicles to be parked more easily.

So far unreported is the reallocation of Great Yarmouth's 36186 BN12JYJ to nearby Lowestoft earlier this month. The former First Leeds Volvo B9TL Wright Gemini arrived locally as part of a batch transfer during July 2016.

The latest news is that open top 32905 W905VLN is again in use on the 2 between Market Gates and the Barrack Estate this morning. Meanwhile First Great Yarmouth Dart 42920 EU05AUM was employed on the 101 Lowestoft town service between Carlton Colville and Gunton Estate for most of the morning

My thanks to First for the information and to Simon Bartram for the Lowestoft report and accompanying photo
