Thursday 14 November 2024 (1344) – Stephensons of Essex 641 (YN55 NKA) by The Walnut Tree, Worlington when working the 1250 service 16 from West Suffolk Hospital/Bury St. Edmunds to Newmarket. It is an East Lancs Omnidekka bodied Scania N94 that had been new to London Sovereign as their SLE33 in October 2005.

Seen from on 802 (EU24 LWV), an Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro400D MMC new in July 2024, working the 1300 service 16 from Newmarket to Bury St. Edmunds/West Suffolk Hospital.

The cottage at the T-junction facing our bus has been quite vulnerable over the years. Quite recently a vehicle (not a bus) had failed to stop at the junction and hit the cottage, A three way traffic control had been in operation as the building was made secure. Some of the warning signs were still present.

I was travelling back to Mildenhall, the last of three vehicles I travelled on today on this outing. I had initially travelled from Mildenhall to Trumpington Park & Ride on 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 second bus was Stagecoach East 21234 (AE12 CJV) from Trumpington to Parkside as it worked the 1106 Busway service B from Trumpington to St. Ives.
