Friday 26 July 2024 (1351) – The final vehicle I rode as part of my bus ride trip to Norwich was Ambassador Travel 219 (BV19 XOY), a Caetano Levante bodied Scania K360EB4 new in March 2019 to National Express owned West Midlands Travel. The driver very kindly took my photograph with the coach before I boarded at Norwich bus station.

It was working National Express service 728 which had started from UEA (University of East Anglia) at 1330 and was bound for Heathrow Airport due 1905. My trip though was the 65 minute run to Mildenhall.

The tracker on the Bus Times website showed that the coach arrived at Terminal 5 on time at 1905 and also showed the following journeys worked on during this diagram:

Thursday 25 July
2250 Gt Yarmouth-Heathrow 0405 (Friday) 727
Friday 26 July
0715 Heathrow- Norwich-UEA 1220 728
1330 UEA-Norwich-Heathrow 1905 728
2100 Heathrow-Great Yarmouth 0210 (Saturday) 727

Ambassador Travel (Anglia) Limited is based at Great Yarmouth and is associated with H. Semmence and Company Limited, Wymondham. On my ride there was a change of drivers at Thetford (1440) which made me think the drivers were Wymondham based.
