Wells-next-the-Sea Service Under Way

An email and photos from regular correspondent Tony Wilson arrived during yesterday evening:-

'Not everyone's cuppa tea, but the bus replacement for the now defunct Wells Harbour Railway in North Norfolk has returned for another year. Operated by the Holkham Estate, the service runs between Wells Town and Wells Beach and operated by an all-singing, all-dancing all-electric 15-seater Sigma 7 with Mellor bodywork.

Offside and nearside both shown at the town end of the service one about to enter the bus gate, the other in the purpose-built 'bus station'. Unlike the bus on loan last year this one which appears to be owned, has been liveried in red and cream similar to the vintage Leyland Tiger PS1 open-top single-deck (840 XUJ), that is used to supplement the service on high days and holidays.

The bus appears to be dubbed the 'WONDER BUS'. Well it certainly made me wonder.'

Thanks for the information and photos Tony
