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. To contact me with your observations/experiences on the XL, email gerardtcc@gmail.com .

Days Gone By : No. 1 - A London Puddlejumper by Syd Eade
I thought you may like to see this photo, I dont have the date but perhaps you may re-call the day. Chaos was reigning on the A47 so this little gem was desptched light from Lowestoft to pick up a missing journey from Norwich back to Lowestoft at teatime. The Southern bypass then shut due to a fatal accident and most of Norwich came to a stand-still. So the bus ran back via Cromer Road, Old Catton, Sprowston, Salhouse and South Walsham to Acle, then picked up the normal route (taking over an hour longer) but got in to Gt Yarmouth BEFORE buses that left 90 minutes earlier and ran via the City Centre. Happy days.
