First Great Yarmouth News

A visit to Great Yarmouth this morning allowed time for a quick look into the rear yard at First's Caister Road depot

The withdrawn Great Yarmouth Heritage liveried Volvo B7TL/ALX400 32059 W219 XBD had been removed from the Harley Road fence and placed inside the depot for collection by its new owner; which could be as early as tomorrow. Its position was taken by Flying Banana branded Alexander Dennis Dart SLF 42943 WA56 OAS.

Also in the yard were three withdrawn Volvo B7RLEs in the shape of 69029/31/45 SF55 UAX/Z/BE. All three plus the Flying Banana have had their fleet names and fleet numbers painted over ready for collection for their last journey to the scrapyard.

Meanwhile, First Norwich based B7RLE 66985 KX05 MHO is receiving an engine rebuild whilst Scania N250UD / Enviro400 City decker 36902 YN69 XZE returned to Kings Lynn last Thursday.

My thanks to First for the information
