'Over the last few months, it has been more and more common to see one of the BorderBus Envrio400 MMC deckers (217 or 218) working the longer 580 duty that includes the Harleston extensions and today was no exception with the approximately one year old 218 (BB74 BUS) making its way between Bungay and Great Yarmouth.
Rather unusually, however, 218 was joined today on the 580 by not one, but two (!) saloon demonstrators in the form of the Volvo BZL Electric BV72 KPF and ADL Enviro200 MMC
YY25 DKX.
As previously reported, the Electric demonstrator has been working the 146 since mid-last week, but today was the first time it had the treat of visiting Great Yarmouth. The Enviro200 MMC was in use for the first time with BorderBus today.
The first picture shows a rather well loaded BV72 KPF working the 13:30 Yarmouth to Bungay journey snapped on Beaufort Way, Gorleston. The second, taken less than 5 minutes later, shows YY25 DKX working in the opposite direction, having left Bungay at 13:16.'
I am very grateful to Andrew for his detailed report and the use of his photos.
