Mulleys Motorways MUI 7919 (00D 40014, X179 CHJ) on the A11 at Barton Mills - 6 Oct 2023 (P1160699)

Friday 6 October 2023 (0757) – Mulleys Motorways MUI 7919 seen on the A11 heading towards Fiveways, Barton Mills when working the 0730 service 955 from West Row to Bury St. Edmunds. Primarily this is a school related service but can be used by the general public.

Mulleys has operated this service for many years and it was once a journey I regularly drove when I worked for the company. The timetable had been adjusted slightly when the service re-commenced after the summer break being advanced by five minutes.

MUI 7919 is an Alexander bodied Volvo B7TL new as Dublin Bus AV14 (00D 40014) in September 2000 which became X179 CHJ when imported to England. Mulleys re-registered it to MUI 7919 in May 2016.

The roadside A board announces that the Five Guys diner is now open (opened Monday 2 October) in the building latterly occupied by the Pancake & Waffle Shack previously AJ’s and Little Chef before that.
