Thursday 26th August 2010 ~ Wet Wet Wet

It started raining at 16.00 yesterday afternoon in Wisbech and is still raining as I type this at nearly midnight. The entire rainfall expected for August has fallen within this 30 hour spell. There were several A47 accidents and delays, although these seem to have had little effect on X1 punctuality. Having mentioned that 37570 was the last bus I saw yesterday, it was then the first one espied today, seen entering Wisbech bus station about 5 late on K1 this morning. With sufficient Geminis at Lowestoft to cover, the Beast was not used on the route today and there was even a chance for 37566 to work the 10.40 Norwich - Lowestoft X2. Later this came to King's Lynn on Y7 so that 37568 which had done the first part could be taken off for a service.
37578 returned to traffic after MOT today. It took K15 15.32 Lynn to Lowestoft replacing 37577, although it is not known why this swap took place. A complete low floor day was thwarted by 20514 which was on - well I'm sure you can guess !
