I'm writing this at lunchtime, so goodness knows what will ensue later on. Yesterday's heat was intense and 20503 was unable to return from Peterborough under its own power. It had to be towed in after its hydraulic fan disintegrated and damaged the radiator. It is currently at Rowan Road and I am told it will probably be off the road for about a week.
This morning 20119 had to pop into Vancouver Avenue garage with a full compliment of passengers at midday, but was able to continue as J10 the 12.12 to Lowestoft. Lateness caused by traffic congestion varied, the 11.29 to Peterborough with 20508 (Y14) was 24 late leaving, while the following 11.59 with 20502 (K15) was only 9 late.
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 .
