Wednesday 4 September 2024 (0845) – Local schools resumed today after the summer holidays.

In addition to specific pupil only school contracts normal public bus services also carry pupils on their journeys to/from school/college.

Coach Services Limited of Thetford CS67 BUS, an MCV Evolution bodied Volvo B8RLE new in September 2017, is seen on Queensway, Mildenhall having already called at Mildenhall College Academy/The Hub and was now heading to the bus station.

This was the 0720 service 200 from Thetford via Brandon, Lakenheath, Holywell Row, Beck Row and West Row.
