Norwich bus station - 26 Jul 2024 (P1180912)

Friday 26 July 2024 (1348) – Norwich Bus Station.

The final vehicle I rode as part of my bus ride trip today was Ambassador Travel 219 (BV19 XOY) working National Express service 728. Ithad started from UEA (University of East Anglia) at 1330 and was bound for Heathrow Airport (due 1905) although my trip was the 65 minute run to Mildenhall. It is a Caetano Levante bodied Scania K360EB4 new in March 2019 to National Express owned West Midlands Travel.

In front of that is Prospect Coaches of Lye 151 (PR19 STU), an Irizar i6 integral new in June 2019, working the 1405 Megabus service M87 to Liverpool. On 9 February 2024 I rode on this coach from Cambridge to Norwich and back.

Both coaches run down the A11 to Cambridge before heading in different directions. The National Express service starts from UEA (University of East Anglia) at 1330 and then departs Norwich (Bus Station) at 1355 calling at Thetford (1440), Mildenhall (1500) and Newmarket (1520) arriving in Cambridge (Parkside) at 1550.

On the right is Sanders 318 (YN06 NXR), a Wright bodied Scania L94UB new in May 2006 to Reading Buses (1023), which would work the 1400 service 43 to Reepham.
