The long process of transforming my house continues, so another brief update on a few things. Enviro 33808 remains out of service at Full Circle for body repairs, although it is expected back at King's Lynn this week. Last week 33811 required its MOT so Lowestoft loaned 33824 to King's Lynn for a few days. I travelled back from Peterborough on it on Thursday evening and this has to be the most uncomfortable trip on an Enviro I've had. The rattling internally was annoying and the engine was making a high pitched whistle, as well as the suspension seeming worn out. On a minor note the upstairs information screens on both buses I travelled on were out of order and the wi-fi was very hit and miss. Bit of a disappointment really. Nevertheless both trips were on time which was a credit to the drivers,
It looks as if consideration is being given to recasting the evening X1 timetable on the western section. The likelihood is that services from King's Lynn to Peterborough and Norwich will revert to an hourly interval pattern with the final journeys of the day being withdrawn. Loadings are poor on these late services and it also means two very late arrivals at King's Lynn at just before 01.00.
