Omar’s Sightings

I’ve just returned after few days away in Staffordshire and received a message from Omar Atiallah on his sightings on Castle Meadow in Norwich earlier today.

First of all he saw one of Sanders Coaches’ new Yutong GT12’s parked outside the entrance to Castle Mall. This was 802 NO25 MWJ in the operator’s early livery.

Later he got a photo of Ensignbus MCV bodied Volvo B8L BU74 YVN in the same area which is currently on hire to Completely Coach Travel.

My thanks to Omar for the information and photos.
