Open Topper Update

The latest from First Great Yarmouth is that ex First Kernow partial open topper 37796 LK59 CXO has left the depot for a repaint following repair.


It was new to First London before being acquired by Metroline. It then passed to Ensign before ending up with First Kernow running the Land's End Coaster service as an open topper.

Norwich Today

A couple of photos from Dan High who was stationed on Castle Meadow in Norwich earlier today.


The first is of First Eastern Counties Volvo B9TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 36174 BD11 CFY which recently returned from Cornwall after leaving Norwich in July 2024. It's about head off to Sprowston on the Pink Line 11A service and there is nothing remotely pink about it!


Also observed was Simonds Irizar i6s coach YT26 AFK which looked to be on a private charter. It was new to the operator in early May.

My thanks to Dan for his photos.
