Goodbye Norwich, Hello Yarmouth

Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B9TL FJ08FYN (37562) will be saying her goodbyes to Norwich tomorrow morning as she will be transferring back to Great Yarmouth on a permanent basis.

 

37562 on Castle Meadow in late June 2015

She first joined Eastern Counties on loan during late 2009 and had a short stay at Kings Lynn depot for the X1 Excel service between Peterborough and Lowestoft. She was then for sale with Ensignbus in 2013 and acquired by Eastern Counties where she was then painted into 'Olympia' livery and was based at Great Yarmouth depot. She was used mainly on X1 reliefs between Great Yarmouth and Norwich with occasional appearances on the 1/1A, 8s and Bernard Matthews contracts. She then left Great Yarmouth for Lowestoft in mid 2014 when their new service 99 operating between Lowestoft and Kessingland was soon to begin. Later finding herself in Norwich as a permanent fleet member, she was used mainly on University services 25/26 with occasional appearances on City work, Private Hire and Rail Replacement up until this day.

Dennis Trident bodied Plaxton Presidents 33004 (LK51UZT), 33007 (LK51UZE) and 33246 (LT52WUX) are expected to follow shortly.
