Tuesday in Norwich

Just three selected photos of the many supplied by Dan High of his sightings in Norwich yesterday.

Sanders Coaches' X55 branded MCV eVoRa Volvo B8RLE 529 BV72 KKD was employed on its usual designated route.

Also observed was First Eastern Counties Volvo B9 36223 BD12 SZZ awaiting its next duty in Castle Meadow. This is one of the former Doncaster liveried First Kernow ones which has recently received a repaint into the First Ultraviolet scheme. Confirmation of this can be found on the destination screen with reference to 'firstbus.co.uk/cornwall'

The third depicts Central Connect's Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Altas / EVM Cityline 228 RX25 TCJ on the 35 service to Hellesdon.

My thanks to Dan for the photos.
