Thetford Thursday

A change of scenery for regular contributor Dan High today as he visited Thetford for something completely different.



Coach Services' ADL Enviro200 YX67 VGG is observed leaving Thetford Bus Station on Town Circular T3 passing Central Connect's Konectbus pride liveried ADL Enviro 400 622 SN65 OAA waiting time for the 61 to Watton.



Meanwhile, Coach Services' former Nottingham Scania 270UD / East Lancs YT09 YHM is at rest in the bus station



A third Coach Services' bus, ADL Enviro200 YX14 RXK leaves the bus station 'not in service'. It was new to the operator in April 2014.



Our final photo shows pride bus ADL Enviro 400 622 SN65 OAA having arrived in Watton High Street on the 61.

Our thanks to Dan for the photos.

Today's selection from Dan High, depicting bus activity in the Norwich area, features FirstBus WrightDeck New Power EV 71024 XIG 1724 about to depart Castle Meadow for Queen's Hill.



The second photo shows three FirstBus vehicles in different liveries. Coastlink branded YX 63 LJO arrives with the 7 from Great Yarmouth passing Wright StreetDeck Electroliner 36536 BK73 AFA heading for Longwater Retail Park. Closest to the camera is Ipswich Reds Wright StreetDeck 35919 BN72 TVO on 21 to Old Catton.

Norwich Tuesday

More photos from Dan High reflecting FirstBus activity in Norwich earlier today with the first featuring Wrightbus GB Kite Electroliner 63635 BK24 AAE on its way to Queen's Hills.



The Wrightbus StreetDeck buses have returned off loan from First Glasgow following the close of the Commonwealth Games. One of them was 35676 MF22 SYH on a Hethersett service.



Another recently returning from Scotland, and observed in use today, was 35288 SL67 VXS heading for Longwater Retail Park.



It continues to display its On Hire to First Glasgow legal information

My thanks to Dan for the photos.

Last Journey Awaits

During late last month we reported the withdrawal of FirstBus Volvo B9TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 37563 AU58 ECA at Great Yarmouth.

Today it is seen awaiting the arrival of the grim reaper to take it on its final journey to the scrapyard, which is expected to happen sometime tomorrow.

My thanks to Steve N for the information and photo.

Norwich Monday

Three photos selected from a number sent in by Norwich regular Dan High highlighting activity in the City earlier today.

Our first shows that Ipswich reds continue to appear with Wrightbus StreetDeck 35919 BN72 TVL operating an 11A Sprowston service.

The second is of Eastern Counties heritage liveried Volvo B9TL /Wright Eclipse Gemini BN12 JVF. Number 36183 is seen on its way to Thorpe St Andrew on the 24 route.

His final contribution is a photo of former Whippet Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse BF63 HFB heading eastbound in Castle Meadow. Its last known place of residence was the Zero2 Bus Museum in Essex. However, Dan recognised the driver who was from Sanders Coaches and so it is probably connected with them.

My thanks Dan for the information and photos.
