Ex First Great Yarmouth Decker Arrives at Ensign

A recent arrival at First Ensignbus is a former First Great Yarmouth double decker although in a different form. Mark Doggett observed First 32211 TJI 4838 at the Purfleet site yesterday.



The Plaxton President bodied Volvo B7TL was new to First CentreWest in London in October 2002 and registered as LT52 WTU. It moved to First Eastern Counties in May 2010 and was noted on the streets of Great Yarmouth later that year. The photo shows an empty looking 32211 on Marine Parade in July 2010 presumably on contract work.



It left for First South West in July 2016 having been stood down from regular duties the previous month. Soon after transfer it was converted to open top for Land's End Coaster duties and registered TJI 4838. It was recently offered for sale on the Ensign website.

My thanks to Mark for the use of his photo.
