I was drafted to our remote Lincolnshire branch today, but fortunately Bruce kept a detailed log of sightings, so we are on top with things. Judith and Bruce both noted 20103 on Y9 06.32 Yarmouth - Peterborough & 10.18 thence to Lowestoft. Tonight it was 3 early at Walpole on the 19.18 ex Peterborough having kept to its booked turn. Ian noted 20508 departing Wisbech eastbound at 17.40 with 'not in service' showing - it should have been the 17.09 to Lowestoft, but had no doubt been caught up by K1 following. It ran empty to Lynn to form the belated 17.42 eastbound service.
K4a 07.29 Lynn - Pbo & 08.48 return to Lowestoft ran with 20506, but on arrival this stepped up to become K6 and it is not known what worked the 13.25 ex Lowestoft (K4b). In turn 20501 off K6a became Y8b 14.25 ex Lowestoft. Later 20502 on L12a 11.48 ex Peterborough was delayed to form L13 16.55 return while 20111 was provided to work L12b 16.25 Lowestoft - Lynn.
20105 was off the road at Lynn all day having its nearside suspension examined. It is reported on the East Anglia Buses Yahoo Group that three ex First Devon & Cornwall coaches are due to arrive with FEC shortly.
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.
