Sunny City Catch Up

Only my second visit of the year to Norwich saw the sun shine and a great chance to enhance the photo archives once more.



First up is recent arrival from Glasgow, 37532 MXZ3342 (ex SF08SMX) pictured in Tombland working the Pink Line 12 service to the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital.



Another sighting in Tombland was former York Volvo B9TL 37065 YK57EZU, this was on the 28 service Yellow Line.



My first look at Sanders new Volvo/Evora single decks for the X55 North Walsham - Norwich services today and they look very impressive, 528. BV72KKC "Joe Cook" is seen in Castle Meadow heading for the Bus Station.



Konectbus have recently introduced the new 35 service between Hellesdon and Carrow Road Stadium, Hellesdon is home to The Nest, Norfolks Community Football Hub where the service will begin taking in Norwich Airport and Rail Station en route to Carrow Road. Enviro 400 613 SN62AVY is pictured heading into the city.



Final shot is this Full Electric Yutong TCe12 Coach YD72FEM owned by Zeelo Transport, It is running staff shuttles between Marsh Insurance and the City Centre, Technically Marrets are operating thes service as Zeelo is not an operator more of a transport algorithm, complicated shall we say!

Many Thanks to Kieran Smith at Sanders for the updated info.

I also met fellow Enthusiast Martin Ruthe today who was up from his home in Essex for the day with his camera, he has an excellent Flickr site which you can view here https://www.flickr.com/photos/martinruthe

Grahame.

  1. Great pictures. The electric coach is being trialed by Marett's Chariots, on the Marsh Insurance staff shuttle between Norwich city centre and Broadland Business Park, which they operate on behalf of Zeelo:
