Ordinary best describes today , with few items of note, however, the X1 is seldom devoid of interest and we managed to pick a few highlights :
1). Bruce's day was made when the driver of Y7 - who shall remain nameless, but to give you a clue is a blonde lady driver who has always been blonde - gave him a cheery wave from the controls of 37578 as it passed by on Y7.
2). K14 was 37160. So what I hear you cry ? Well it just happened to be the very first time it has done this turn, now only a complete nutter like me would know that. Also Stan informs me that a very smelly passenger was refused admission to this service at Norwich at 16.55 and all the other passengers breathed a sigh of relief, praising the driver !
3). 20115 came out of the blue to Yarmouth, in order to release 20107 back to Lowestoft for X1 standby. 34108 is now to go to Yarmouth with the other Royales.
4). Des reports new Yarmouth acquisition 34111 on the 09.00 Gorleston JPH - Norwich shuttle this morning.
All four B7s were out today plodding along, 37156 on K18 was taken off at Lowestoft at 10.40 and replaced by 37157, but later 37563 on Y13 was changed and the 18.48 Lowestoft - Peterborough was a revived 37156. This turned up at Lynn in the early hours of Tuesday with a broken window ruling it out of tomorrow's early morning equation.
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.
