Saturday 14 October 1995 – During repairs to the A11 dual carriageway near Barton Mills there were different local diversions in force resulting in sightings of buses where they would not normally been seen.

Eastern Counties Omnibus Company VR206 (XNG 206S), an Eastern Coachworks bodied Bristol VR new in March 1978, was seen on the old A11 near the end of Church Lane, Barton Mills when working a mid-day journey from West Row and Mildenhall to Bury St. Edmunds. The eastbound carriageway of the A11 was under repair and the westbound carriageway used as a contra flow. Traffic could not join the A11 near the Bull Inn and so had to travel to Chalk Hill and join the A11 there before travelling east to Fiveways.
