Percivals Motors 73 (786 AFC ex CJO 321V) on the A11 at Barton Mills – 5 Apr 1985 (15-8)
Good Friday 5 April 1985 (approx. 1556) - Percivals Motors (Oxford) Limited Plaxton Supreme coach near the Bull Inn at Barton Mills. I believe it was number 73 (786 AFC) that was working the 0855 Bristol-Great Yarmouth service 747, a cross-country service worked jointly with Premier Travel and National Express. This duty covered the 0855 Bristol-Great Yarmouth (1735) and 1815 Great Yarmouth-Cambridge (2155) runs.
This scene changed significantly when the A11 was upgraded to a dual carriageway. I took the photograph at what was the road into the village, the Tuddenham road is obscured by the coach. Note the road markings indicating the turning lanes to both these roads.
