First Two Streetdecks arrive and more


35194 at Roundtree Way depot Wednesday afternoon having just arrived
Wednesday saw the arrival of Two of Norwich's brand new WrightBus Streetdecks for the Pink Line services 11 and 12 between Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and Wroxham. 35193 (SK16GVR) and 35194 (SK16GVT) were the first to arrive with more expected soon. All of the Nine should have arrived by early next week. Once they are fully branded they'll feature on a launch day at the Hospital and Forum to show off to the general public the new style bus that is offered before going out onto the City roads.
New style branding is set to hit the streets of Norwich very soon with the Alexander Dennis Enviro200s for the new Charcoal Line service 40 between Norwich and Poringland being the first to receive it ready for their first day on the road on Monday. This new branding won't just be applied on the Streetdecks and Enviro200s, but the whole of the Norwich fleet. This will mean the Grey scale 'NORWICH' vinyls on the sides being no longer and a new style design being introduced.

Volvo B12M Plaxton Paragons 20500 (AO02RBX) and 20501 (AO02RBY) are both destined to transfer to Great Yarmouth depot. With 20501 being the first to leave during late yesterday evening. They are to be used on a new Bernard Matthews contract which will run from Great Yarmouth to Great Witchingham factory; this will start on Monday the 4th of April.
