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. In 2026 the new fleet of state of the art double deckers enter their sixth year in traffic. To contact me with your observations/experiences on the XL, email gerardtcc@gmail.com .

Well today we said goodbye to Bruce Billingham. A magnificent effort from all at First Buses for providing an XL vehicle to convey him to his funeral and a compliment of drivers too. Special thanks to Maggie, Lee & Co.
Here are a few pictures from the funeral. R.I.P. Bruce
