Thursday 14 November 2024 (1050) – A2B Travel Group YX74 OKW, an Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC new in September 2024, seen leaving Drummer Street bus station, Cambridge working service 114 to Fen Estate.

The photograph was taken on board Ambassador Travel 304 (BV72 XFA), a Caetano Levante III bodied Scania K410 new in November 2022, working the 0750 National Express service 727 from Great Yarmouth to Stansted Airport. The coach had recently departed from Parkside where the coach stops are now located. In the past they left from where the taxis are parked on the right of the photograph.

I took a ride on this coach today from Mildenhall to Trumpington Park and Ride (Cambridge) in order to sample a ride on this type of coach. I travelled back on two local buses, the first being Stagecoach East 21234 (AE12 CJV) working the 1106 Busway service B to St. Ives followed by Stephensons 802 (EU24 LWV) working the 1218 service 12 from Cambridge to Newmarket which continued as the 1300 service 16 to Bury St. Edmunds/West Suffolk Hospital via Mildenhall.
