Chenery H64 PDW (National Express livery) 15 Aug 1993

Sunday 15 August 1993 (approx 1130) – Sadly, in the early hours of this particular day, a Scottish based lorry driver died when his refrigerated truck carrying a consignment of fish ran off the A11 near Barton Mills. The emergency services closed the road until just before 1200 noon to clear the wreckage and during the period of the closure eastbound traffic was diverted on to the parallel roadway which was once the A11 before the dual carriageway was constructed.

In this view R W Chenery of Dickleburgh, Norfolk H64 PDW, a Kässbohrer-Setra S215HD, which was operating the 0930 London (Victoria) to Norwich National Express ‘Rapide’ service 599 is seen returning from the ‘old road’ back on to the dual carriageway. (Normally I wouldn’t have been able to stand at this point to take a photograph!)

Chenery began operating the service 599 contract effective Sunday 23 May 1993 using four Kässbohrer-Setra coaches (three model S215HD like this and one model S215HR) which had been new to Bebb Travel of Llantwit Fadre. (H64 PDW was subsequently re-registered to 920 ACH)
