Rail Replacement

Rail replacement buses ran between Norwich and Ipswich this weekend as the signalling system was being upgraded.



Martin Bott was at Ipswich Railway Station earlier today and saw this rare MCV bodied Mercedes OC500 in use with special registration E26 NCW. New as as VX12 FBO, Norfolk Coachways acquired it in May this year and this was the first time it was in service. However, it is no stranger to East Anglia having seen eighteen months use with Turners of Great Barton between 2021 and 2023.

My thanks to Martin for the information and photo and he says 'One can make one’s own decision on the destination blind!'
