Friday 5 December 2014 (1333) - Mulleys Motorways CN56 FDU seen at Shimpling Street when working the 1300 service 375 from Bury St. Edmunds. On this particular departure this section of the service is a circular via Shimpling Street, Shimpling, Bridge Street and Alpheton as it return to Bury St. Edmunds. New Year. New to Bebb Travel of Llantwit Fadre, South Wales and latterly operated by Veolia Transport Cymru. As January 2015 approaches, when the Disability Discrimination Act requires buses to be fully accessible, so the Mercedes-Benz Vario buses normally used on these services will be obsolete. Whilst the three steps of the rugged Vario can be difficult for the elderly that use these services, the model has proved its worth on the rural lanes - many of which are lined with high grass bankings contribute to body damage.
