The first of the B7 Profiles to leave King's Lynn for pastures new departed today. 20351 had some repairs done and then went off to Full Circle for a repaint into its new livery. 20352 kept 20121 company at Rowan Road all day while 20353 remained in traffic and did K3. 37159 is still the only replacement to have arrived, although another should be arriving tomorrow afternoon. It has been working on Hunstanton services as it still isn't tachograph fitted and has a top speed of 49mph !! B10Ms 20103/4/7 once again plied the X1 route on L10, K4 and Y7 respectively. 20109 still needs some work done on it but should be fit for traffic next week.
There were fifteen B9 Geminis out on the X1 today with just 37566 out of use at Lowestoft, plus long term casualty 37571 of course.
A fire in Peterborough just after lunch delayed K14 with 37570 and this came back 24 minutes late. Otherwise services ran well for a Friday.
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.
