Most X1 services now depart westbound from Wisbech via Nene Quay as timetabled, although the flood defence work which has caused the closure of this route eastbound seems to be running miles behind schedule. The target date for completion of the work and consequent reopening of the road for eastbound traffic was originally October 31st, but from the work completed so far, it looks like it may be next Summer by the time it is complete !
This afternoon was very unusual because firstly Suzanne spotted 37571 in the Old Market having traversed Town Bridge on K15 and therefore heading for Freedom Bridge to reach the Horsefair and 90 minutes later Peter saw 37160 doing the same route on K18.
20121 was predictably K3, but it was replaced for the 16.15 to Peterborough by 37575 off repairs / servicing.
The Beast came out on Y9 and ended up at Lynn garage this evening parked incidentally, next to 20121. 37564 returned to the route today on L8 replacing 37565 which was required for servicing, but 37156 was still being used on the X2 with Michael noting it on the 10.38 Lowestoft - Norwich.
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.
