A new timetable will come into force on January 25th which includes provision for the X1 to call at all stops between Dereham and Wendling as well as allowing extra time over certain sections during the morning and evening rush hours. You can find the revised timetables here :

I have been taken to task by some readers for failing to mention the ongoing work at King's Lynn bus station. This will result in the X1 being diverted away from the bus station to temporary stops in Portland Street between March 9th and mid June. Here is another link, this time with the new timetable in PDF form as well as further details on route changes east of Norwich :

On the traffic side, 33815 returned to service from repairs on Thursday 15th January, 33808 is also back at King's Lynn now while after a failure at Dereham on 14th, 33817 has gone to Yarmouth for attention, it is also due to go to Full Circle at some point to have its crease on the back corner removed. A three car pile up at West Bilney resulted in some delays on the morning of 20th but only the 07.20 Norwich - Peterborough was badly behind time and most of this was soon regained. The next report will look at recent happenings in the East.
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.
