Thursday 14 November 2024 (1052) – Downing Street, Cambridge seen from the coach. One of the thirty Stagecoach East MCV bodied Volvo BZL electric double deckers delivered during April 2023 is at the departure point of Park & Ride service PR3 to Trumpington.

The photograph was taken from my seat 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.

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.
