Decker Returns To Old Route

An Alexander ALX400 bodied Volvo B7TL was back on its first route today when purchased new by First Eastern Counties in late 2003. 32482 AU53 HJK was observed by Dan High working the 25 route between the University of East Anglia and Norwich Railway Station.

It was one of two First Essex deckers loaned to help provide extra cover on University work in mid July and 32482 has now had all references to First Essex removed - suggesting the move is now permanent. Meanwhile, the other decker, 32483 AU53 HKA, was noted on the 23A route between Longwater Retail Park and Heartsease with First Essex branding intact.

My thanks to Dan for the information and photo.
