Not only were any swaps minimal today, timekeeping was very good. The two rarely go hand in hand. Once again, certain services ran early. K1 07.48 ex Peterborough did one better than yesterday and was 3 early into Walton Highway (due 08.47) with 37568 - yes really Bruce ! 568 may have a reputation for late running but nevertheless is the most consistent B9 of the moment. It has been noted in service every day since Valentines Day.
B10Ms in use today were 20104 (K2) and 20126 on K19 (thanks to Sam for the gen). Sam also travelled with 20103 on the X2 today. Whilst on the B10 front, Andrew reports 20131 on Hunstanton services this afternoon and also due to Scania failures 20109/118 deputising at teatime.
Most delayed service was K16, but this by only 10 minutes and 37563 was in charge. K3 and K17 had B7s as usual.
I am away from Thursday until Monday so in the interim any reports may assist me to do a blog on my return. Please send any sightings info to gerardtcc@aol.com

This is the unofficial blog for the Peterborough - Norwich XL bus service operated by First Group. Originally reporting the introduction of the 'Gemini' double deckers and the phasing out of coaches, the blog is now incredibly in its twelfth year and in 2021 the new fleet of state of the art double deckers enter their second year in traffic. To contact me with your observations/experiences on the XL, email gerardtcc@gmail.com .
