Roundtree Way Observations

A few observations from Norwich's Roundtree Way depot today where repowered Wright StreetDeck 71024 XIG 1724 was seen. Repowering means that its diesel engine has been removed and converted to electric traction with battery packs installed.



First Great Yarmouth's partial open top Volvo B9s 37067 CRZ 488 and 37533 CRZ 166 are both at the Norwich site having some work carried out on them. The latter is seen alongside driver trainer Volvo B7RLE 66840 MX05 CGE



A second trainer was also present in the form of similar 66883 MX55 HHP in its yellow and green 'BlockBuster' colour scheme.



The final thing to report is that First Norwich's Volvo B9 36269 BG12 YKB was employed on First Great Yarmouth's service 2 between Market Gates and the James Paget Hospital, via Bradwell, earlier today.

My thanks to First for the information and photos.
