East Coast Truckers Children's Convoy
Usually the Sunday prior to the August Bank Holiday regularly sees the East Coast Truckers Children's Convoy when drivers take disabled and disadvantaged children in their cabs for a trip to Pleasurewood Hills. The public line the route to clap and wave as it as passes through Norwich, Acle, Great Yarmouth and Gorleston before arriving at the Suffolk attraction around midday.
There must have been some one hundred HGVs in the convoy this year and I caught up with it at Church Road in Gorleston hoping to get a photo of the support coaches provided by Sanders Coaches.
The two involved were Jonckheere bodied Volvo B13RT BT14 DLX and Volvo B8R/ Plaxton Panther OC21 SAN. The former was the only one in the outward procession passing through Gorleston but both took part in the return trip.

Great Yarmouth Visit
As I hadn't visited Great Yarmouth's Beach Coach Station on a Saturday this year I thought I would look in to see what was about - especially with this being a bank holiday weekend. Gone are the days when it used to be a real hive of activity with most of the site taken up with coaches visiting from the Midlands, the North and the South East to mention but a few.
This afternoon saw it muster the grand total of just eight vehicles with the first being County Coaches' Irizar i6 YM23 UAX. The operator is based at London 's Luton Airport.
Second in line was another Luton - based operator Theobolds Coaches with its Neoplan N2216 KC15 DHY.
Fowlers of Holbeach were represented by Volvo B8R /Plaxton Leopard 836 FOW, formerly registered as YX17 OGT.
On the rear rank was A-Line of Coventry's Bova FuturaYJ60 LBX and an Irizar i6 Intregal YT17 EZV from Mullany's of Watford.
Landmark Coaches Irisbus Eurorider / Marcopolo Viaggio CC09 CRC was also present.
Two other regulars, KM Travel's VDL M100 KMT and Kearney's (Glenferry Coaches) Scania 162-C-9755 also put in an appearance
I returned home via First Great Yarmouth's Caister Road depot and witnessed recent arrival, Plaxton Panther bodied Volvo B9R TFO 319, peeking out of the building. Sheldon Rees contacted us through our Facebook page to say that First Norwich had recently received Volvo B12B /Plaxton Panther LK07 CDF. Thanks Sheldon.

Finally, I looked in at Beach Coach Station and found only one coach present. Owen's Travelmaster's Tourismo BA19 OXE was on hire to Bakers Dolphin and being guarded by a seagull!

First Contract Coaches
I understand that two coaches are due to be based at First Great Yarmouth's Caister Road depot for a contract to transport workers to a food processing site.
Earlier one had been identified on the Bus Times website as Plaxton Panther bodied Volvo B12B 20612 LK07 CDF which recently saw use with First Worcestershire. In the past it had been employed on First Berkshire railair.com services between Reading and Heathrow Airport and is seen in this guise in the photo kindly provided by Steven's Transport Photos.
However, as the vehicles selected are nearing the end of their useful life the start of the contract could now be delayed whilst others are sourced

A successful Big Bus Show was held at Stoneham Barns Park near Stowmarket in Suffolk yesterday held in conjunction with the Eastern Counties Bus Preservation Group. Whilst we were unable to attend Dan High did! He sent some fifty photos for us to choose from which was a difficult task.
