A very quiet day today. Just one unusual event, that being a puncture suffered by 37576 at Walton Highway at teatime. It was on the 16.10 ex Peterborough and after a wheel change retired to Lynn garage with, I believe, 37159 working as replacement.
Considering the huge number of miles worked by the B9s, punctures are incredibly rare.
A postscript to Friday now and news reaches us that 20126 failed on its X1 short with a loss of gears on the Acle straight. She had to be towed back to Yarmouth for attention.
This is the unofficial blog for the Peterborough - Norwich XL bus service operated by First Group. Originally reporting the introduction of the 'Gemini' double deckers and the phasing out of coaches, the blog is now incredibly in its twelfth year and in 2021 the new fleet of state of the art double deckers enter their second year in traffic. To contact me with your observations/experiences on the XL, email gerardtcc@gmail.com .
