Friday Round Up

The 'Friday Round Up' appears to be coming a bit of habit lately which continued this morning. Heading into Great Yarmouth, I was passed by National Holidays' Mercedes Benz Tourismo NH15HCH in the opposite direction no doubt on its homeward bound journey.

Parked on Marine Parade, close to the Carlton Hotel, was regular visitor Shearing Holidays' Tourismo 134 BU18YSL. Southbound on the same road was similar 131 BU18YSH (pictured) passing the former Windmill Theatre.

Just leaving the Royal Hotel parking area was B R Guest Travel's Kassbohrer Setra S416 GT-HD N10BRG. It was new to Welsh's Coaches of Pontefract as W6HOL in April 2007.

At Beach Coach Station were four coaches parked together in pairs. Regular Gee-Vee Travel's Bova Futura GT03GVT was parked next to similar 326WAL operated by Walter Martin Coaches of Sheffield. It was first with Ellison of St Helens in 2004 as YK04FWG.

Again another Isle of Wight visitor was present in the form of Van Hool Alizee bodied Volvo B12B YK04FWB from the ALS Travel fleet. New to Redline in the Preston area, it last saw use with another Isle of Wight operator, Robinson trading as Seaview Services. It was branded for the 'Isle of Wight Experience' providing trips for schoolchildren. It retains the white and green livery and Wightlink adverts.

Making up the numbers was Alfa Travels' Mercedes Benz Tourismo 93 BX15OEE
