Tuesday 20th July 2010 ~ 34 Degree Discomfort

The temperature shot up this afternoon and although the average seemed to be around 27.5', at one stage my car recorded 34 ! Probably quite unconnected, but the X1 had its overall poorest day of punctuality for some time.
Services from the coast passed Bruce as follows this morning / afternoon. L12 37562 10 late, Y13 37564 16 late, K14 37568 16 late (but reduced to just 8 late when seen returning), K15 37574 17 late, K16 37577 16 late and K17 37573 21 late. Later on K18 with 37579 was seen coming through on the 15.35 from Peterborough bang on time, but then 37570 on K19 was 19 late. Whether 37579 was turned round at Wisbech rather than going through to Peterborough is not known. Going west at this time were 37569 on K1 18 late and 37563 on K 2 10 late. K3 was then 37160 11 late, K4 The Beast about 12 late and K5 37158 27 late !
37567 did the first part of L8 and then dropped down to Y9. L8 then came back with the errant 37566, however, on the 20.05 from Peterborough it went like a demon and was 4 early at Terrington and reached the Pullover roundabout in just 8 minutes from Walpole !
37156 was the bus taken off Y9 at Lowestoft. 37574 was removed from K15 this afternoon and the 15.33 to Lowestoft left Lynn with freshly serviced 37572.

I am away now until Monday, so the next blog should appear then. In the meantime, please submit sightings and photos to the usual address
