Tuesday 13th July 2010 ~ Squeezing The Resources

Des says ' I haven't quite got the hang of this taking pictures of moving buses yet, hence the above. Still, thought you'd like to see what 37568 was up to this evening. It was snapped in Gorleston High Street at 18.48 and would have been the 18.10 ex Lowestoft to Martham, will it also operate the 21.13 to Martham?

The withdrawal of the King's Lynn B10M fleet means that back up for the X1 is now in short supply. Today was a good test for Richard & Co. K15 had a problem when 37578 sustained a smashed window , so 37158 replaced it at lunchtime. Later on 37564 on Y6 was also in trouble with a recurrence of its old problem, an ABS fault and 37572 was seen on this duty at 20.30. As this had begun the day on K18, it looks as though it only worked on this turn from Lynn to Lowestoft and then took over Y7 (from 37565). With this being the first terminating turn, 572 then took over Y6 departing later than advertised.

The Beast worked K4 all day and there was still room for 37563/8 to have a day off for maintenance at Lowestoft, however, it would seem that 37563 may have done the second leg of K18. 37156 & 37567 were sent out from Lowestoft this morning instead of 37563/8.
