Wednesday 27 October 1993 - Eastern Counties Omnibus Company Limited LL797 (UVO 124S) seen in High Street, Mildenhall when working the 1030 service 200 from Newmarket to Thetford.

It is a Duple Dominant bodied Leyland Leopard that was new to Trent Motor Traction Company Limited (124) in November 1977 although latterly it had been operated by Barton Buses (1124) in whose livery it carries here. The Wellglade Group, owners of Trent, acquired the Barton business in 1989 later merging the two operations to become trentbarton.

The Suffolk County Council sponsored service 200 running approximately every 2 hours from Newmarket to Thetford via Mildenhall, Lakenheath and Brandon commenced operation on Monday 24 May 1993.
