The photo by Stephen Purkiss shows number 529 BV72 KKD receiving route branding and fleet name vinyls at the Hempstead Road Depot in Holt. Although similar to the six Coasthopper branded vehicles these latest additions are of the longer type with a maximum seating capacity of 46. All are individually named after long serving and well respected members of the Sanders team, two of whom, Martin Wise and Roger Parker, sadly passed away this year.
Sign written and wrapped in the new X55 livery, they are to be introduced onto the North Walsham to Norwich service from January 2nd. Fleet numbers, registrations and namings are as follows:-
