After last night's debacle, it was really a wonder that any buses ran at all today, but run they did - or at least some of them. Observations are not comprehensive enough to confirm a complete service, but here is what I saw.
37569 was the 11.50 from King's Lynn to Peterborough, noted at Walpole at 12.38 exactly 30 late. The corresponding eastbound service wasn't seen so was either cancelled or ran over 30 late also. 37579 was seen near Walton Highway heading for Lowestoft at 13.38, again exactly 30 late. At Lowestoft it was replaced by B7 37156 which was only 9 late at Tilney on the 19.50 King's Lynn to Peterborough. Back at Walpole Highway, the 16.08 to Peterborough and 16.10 to Lowestoft were both Geminis 22 and 21 late respectively.
An evening trip to King's Lynn saw 37156 noted above. The 19.10 from Peterborough was seen at Eau Brink tottering along to Lynn with 37568 'not in service' 58 late. The following 20.10 from Peterborough was a mere 8 minutes late with 37562.
Spare vehicles noted at King's Lynn Vancouver Avenue were 37564, 37565, 37572, 37157/8/9, with 20105/6/18/21 at Rowan Road. 20127 was also in the garage.
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.
