On board First Eastern Counties Buses 36904 (YN69 XZH) - 21 Mar 2024 (P1170707)

Thursday 21 March 2024 (1148) – The upper deck of First Eastern Counties Buses 36904 (YN69 XZH), an Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro400 City bodied Scania N250UD new in December 2019, which features a couple of tables with face to face seating. Note also just four seats on the back row.

The bus had just arrived in Peterborough spot on time (1147) as the 0840 service C from Norwich. I had travelled from Wisbech (1105) and had chosen the front offside seat above the driver. During the journey I thought the seat was a little more upright for my comfort and had negative thoughts about this type of bus for a long journey. However, my return ride back to Guyhirn on sister bus 36901 I sat in one of the single seats near the top of the stairs which was far more comfortable being slightly more reclined. Studying the front seats I saw that the more upright aspect of the seat was due to the compact space between the front bulkhead and the stairs bulkhead.
