Megabus ~ M37 Norwich to Birmingham Further Updated

Regular correspondent David Slater provides a photo of 'Prospect Coaches (of Lye near Stourbridge) PR73 KNG taken on Sunday at Fiveways, Barton Mills when working the 0815 Megabus service M37 from Birmingham to Norwich. Having called at Cambridge at 1000 it was due to arrive at UEA (University of East Anglia) at 1130 and Norwich Bus Station at 1145.'



It is a Higer bodied Scania Touring K410 which was new in October 2023 and wears full Megabus livery. Many of the coaches working for Megabus carry a name, sometimes humorous sometimes not, sometimes travel related sometimes not. This coach carries the name ‘King Toot-ankhamun’.

He reports that 'The Birmingham-Norwich Megabus service M37 will run every day from 10 January 2024 with revised timings. Through running to Bristol and Cardiff would appear to cease prior to that date. The Megabus website shows these timings current until Sunday 24 March 2024.

A later visit to the website now shows the 2000 Norwich to Birmingham running every day. In addition the 1405 service from Norwich and the 1450 from Birmingham are shown as through journeys to/from Liverpool via Manchester and Manchester Airport

The revised M37 timetable is now shown as
