Arrivals

This week, we have taken delivery to nine Optare Versa buses from Ensign Bus which we plan to use at our Norwich and Luton depots. Three of these have been delivered to our Norwich depot in a blue variant of fleet livery for the Eaton section of route 35, which is to be renumbered route 34. These are 3196-8 YJ57 XWG/K/V. They will be used to cover for repaints until the Rainbow Norwich network is launched.

The other six will be delivered to Luton in standard fleet livery and will be used on a new route starting in April. Due to this at least two of these will be entering service shortly at Aylesbury to cover bus shortages as they are short on single decker buses on some occasions. These will be 3194/5 YJ57 XWD/F.

A few weeks ago, we also brought Optare Versa YJ10 MGV off of Ensign Bus which will be giving fleet number 3199 and will permanently be allocated to our Aylesbury depot. It is currently away having its luggage racks removed and to have extra seats fitted as it was previously used on airport work.
