Yes the double decker is an ex London alx 400 bus still in ex stagecoach london livery. It is still a bit battered and bruised from its work in London but i am sure "she" will settle in nicely once painted with new livery and new ticket machine (all buses are she's as there was a debate on the internet Cheesy )

I highly reccommend the 525 to Beccles, in the new year it will be updated and improved with more services. Smiley

I can just about remember the Corporation Buses.
I have a very vivid memory from when I was a toddler.
My mum used to catch the bus with me at the bottom of Tedder Road, and one day after we got off the bus and headed up Tedder Road to home, the bus conductor came running up the road behind us waving my favourite teddy i'd just left on the bus!! Happy Days. Smiley

You may leave, but you'll return

As I ve said on here before I used to travel as a young child from Gunton estate to Kirkley, only one bus straight through, my mum would put me to sit by the conducter who 'looked  after' me and then my nan met me off at the other end they were good days Smiley and I d be really happy if the condeucter gave me the end of his ticket reel with some wound up tickets still on.

I also remember it would be in the 80's my daughter going on her first holiday abroad and getting to the station realising she had left her passport at home, rang me up on the payphone ( no mobiles)  I got a neighbour to run me down ( no car) and they held the train up till I got there Cant imagine that happening now haha

yeah the X99 that was a good route, however due to E.U ruling bus companies are restricted to operate routes under 25 miles. If its over the driver has to be trained and the bus must have a tachograph fitted which can cost up to £40 a day. so thats probably why

Wish there was a bus that went from Pakefield to the James Paget so as to save changing buses at Gordon Road bus station.
