Distinguishing between the B9s from a distance is not easy. All are in original livery, but there are still ways of narrowing down the options ! Adverts are currently only carried on the Drivers side. As things stand they can be classified as follows :
Original destination display / No adverts : 37563/4/5/8/9/71/2/4
Large destination display / No adverts : 37578
Original destination display / Creme egg advert : 37566/7/70/3/7
Large destination display / Creme egg advert : 37575/6
Large destination display / Sex Drive ad : 37579
No doubt in time, other characteristics will become apparent. B9s seen today were 37563/4/5/7/8/9/70/3/5/6/7/9. Punctuality was less impressive today and worst performer was K5 16.39 Wisbech - Lowestoft which was 10 late with what looked like 37564.
B10Ms seen were 20109 on L12 07.15 from Lowestoft, but possibly only forward from Lynn at 10.29. Terence positively identified this one and he also saw 20107 on shuttles. L13 also had a B10, 20103 which worked all day.
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.

Gerard, Correction mate. I saw 20107 on the main X1 - as the shuttles end at the High Street and my house is halfway between the High Street and the Hospital (which the Shuttle doesn't pass. On Tuesdays - Thursdays, I normally go from my house to Lowestoft College - and back (part of the X1 route that doesn't use Shuttles I'm afraid. Terence Wilkins.
