First Eastern Counties 36901 (YN69 XZD) at Guyhirn - 21 Mar 2024 (P1170753)

Thursday 21 March 2024 (1310) – First Eastern Counties Buses 36901 (YN69 XZD), an Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro400 City bodied Scania N250UD seen at Guyhirn when working the 1240 ‘excel’ service C from Peterborough to Norwich. I had just travelled from Peterborough on this service.

This vehicle was the first of the 19 such buses delivered in late 2019 and allocated to King’s Lynn garage for the upgraded Norwich to Peterborough ‘excel’ service. 36901 arrived in November 2019 with the others arriving the following month.

For a major cross-country road (East Midlands-Great Yarmouth) the A47 is in the main just single carriageway which carries lots of commercial traffic. In summer the holiday traffic increases the volume.
