Friday 26 July 2024 (1350) – The final vehicle I rode on today was Ambassador Travel 219 (BV19 XOY) working National Express service 728 which was seen in Norwich bus station. It had started from UEA (University of East Anglia) at 1330 and was due to depart from here at 1355 bound for Heathrow Airport (due 1905) although my trip was the 65 minute run to Mildenhall. It is a Caetano Levante bodied Scania K360EB4 new in March 2019 to National Express owned West Midlands Travel.

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.

On the left is Sanders 318 (YN06 NXR), a Wright Solar bodied Scania L94UB new in May 2006 to Reading Buses (1023), which would work the 1400 service 43 to Reepham.

On the right is Sanders Coaches of Holt 128 (PC23 SAN), an MCV eVoSeti bodied Volvo B8L new in June 2023, which would be working the 1350 service X41 to Cromer and Sheringham. I rode on this bus earlier in the day from the bus station to Aylsham Road (Boundary).
