Firstly, a reminder that tomorrow is official launch day for the Enviro 400s in Lowestoft and Norwich. Two of the new buses are being prepared to go on show and it is likely that 33808 will be one of the two chosen.
The launch moves to King's Lynn and Peterborough on Thursday and I will be attending the Lynn event following a kind invitation from Chelsea De Silva at 'First'.
Timekeeping was fair today and the Enviros are now coping well with the schedules. 33803 continues to be a source of despair for the powers that be though and again had to be removed from K6-XL12 today for further attention. 33816 took over the turn. The remainder of the new fleet were on their best behaviour thankfully. Gemini 37564, although not in X1 use now, is undergoing attention at Vancouver Avenue, but 33423 looks to have left King's Lynn,
Grahame Bessey reports an unusual sight on an X1 short today when Norwich based B9 Gemini 36172 was noted at Acle heading for Norwich at 07.52, just ahead of the 07.53 to Peterborough.
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.
