HBM: First Eastern Counties 36531 and 36551 at Tesco, Sprowston - 26 Jul 2024 (P1180867)

Friday 26 July 2024 (1127) – In late 2023 First Eastern Counties Buses introduced a fleet of electric buses on their services in Norwich.

In this view at the Tesco Store at Sprowston are two Wrightbus Streetdeck Electroliner double deckers. Arriving is 36531 (BK73 AEV) delivered in September 2023 working service 12. Just to the right of that is 36551 (BK 73 AGY) delivered in December 2023 heading away working service 11.

The bus stop sign is Tesco's own style and features a left hand drive mini-bus!

These were two of the ten buses (and then a coach) which I travelled on today during a bus riding trip to Norwich. The buses were:
Bus 1: Mulleys SJ02 AAW - Mildenhall to Bury St. Edmunds 355
Bus 2: Coach Services CS63 BUS - Bury St. Edmunds to Thetford 84
Bus 3: Coach Services CS22 BUS - Thetford to Norwich (Bus Stn) 90
Bus 4: Sanders 128 (PC23 SAN) - Bus Stn to Aylsham Road/Boundary X41
Bus 5: Sanders 129 (EC23 SHA) - Aylsham Rd/Boundary to Anglia Sq X44
Bus 6: First 36551 (BK73 AGY) - Anglia Square to Sprowston (Tesco) 11
Bus 7: First 36531 (BK73 AEV) - Sprowston (Tesco) to Castle Meadow 12
Bus 8: First 63635 (BK24 AAE) - Castle Meadow to Thorpe St. Andrew 15
Bus 9: First 36530 (BK23 LUP) - Thorpe St. Andrew to Castle Meadow 14
Bus 10: First 63636 (BK24 AAF) - Castle Meadow to St. Stephens Street 15
and finally
