BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend ~ Part One

Just a short post on Part One of the Radio 1 Big Weekend buses. As most of you will know, this weekend just gone (Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th) was the Radio 1 Big Weekend in Norwich where buses to and from the event were held, see here for more details. I was out and about observing the scene on both days. Saturday i ended up staying until early hours of Sunday morning and didn't get home until 3am. So i was able to observe the buses that were on loan from Norse! But I'm afraid that won't be until Part Three!
Former FirstLowestoft 32656 AU05MVA now with FirstIpswich pulls into Norwich Bus Station Saturday morning. This and a few others worked relief 25/26 services from the Bus Station to the Event on both days.

The scene on Ruen Road Saturday mid day. These are the vehicles the drivers from Yarmouth and Lowestoft brang up.

Lead by Lowestofts 30889 W744DWX, 3 vehicles leave Earlham Road bound.

32655 AU05MUY, also a former FirstLowestoft vehicle leaves with a full load, including a large range of standing passengers. 

Red Line branded 33113 LT02NVX was pulled off of the Red Line service 23/23A and was put on relief 25s. She is seen here leaving the Bus Station.
KonectBus VDL Gemini 504  YJ05PXE works the "Yellow" route, seen here at County Hall.

KonectBus 3/6 branded 610 SN62AVG ADL Enviro400 sits at County Hall looking rather smart working the "Yellow" route.

It was a good day and I've heard that First and Konect made a bomb by running their reliefs/shuttles to the event.
