Latest From Caister Road

Today after school i rushed down to Caister Road to see if new arrival 32629 KP54 KAX was there, fortunately, it was. It was then being taken out by the legendary, Sheldon Rees, he took the bus out for a maximum of a 5 minute test drive, and when he returned, he was impressed. He said it ran smoothly and its lovely to drive. I then got a few pictures, here they are:

Here she is on the forecourt displaying 'sorry not in service'. 

Here she is dispaying 'Caister Marram Drive 8'.

Here it is displaying 'Norwich X1'.

I then rid her from the depot to Belton on the 7 and i was amazed! It is a lovely bus! It looks and sounds brand new! I am glad we now have it, sister 32630 KP54 KBE should be here in approximately a coulpe of weeks.

Here are some interior shots:

Moving on from that, 37562 FJ08 FYN is due to leave Caister Road Wednesday morning, tomorrow will most probably be her last day in Great Yarmouth, here she is earlier today working the 1A to Lowestoft.

Later on this evening, i was with Roger Bellward, very nice chap! He was on 32064 W224 XBD. We were in Caister and it was about 2 minutes before our departure time. I said "I wonder what these look like displaying Peterborough X1". Roger then said, i'll change the screen for you so you can see, i then got a quick snap! Here it is:

Looks very weird as some of the dots are messed up but you can kind of make out what it says.
