Monday 4th October 2010 ~ Why The Beast ?

Something odd was happening today. 20107 was sent out by Lowestoft on L10 and yet 37156 was later seen on the 14.38 Lowestoft to Beccles X2 and 37564 worked the 13.08 Lowestoft to Norwich. I suppose it is possible that these two are restricted to local working for some reason.
The Beast was joined by 20121 back on its regular turn, K3. Modifications by Volvo to 37572 saw this one receive attention during the morning after which it took the 12.32 Lynn to Lowestoft (Y9) which had come in with 37573 and this was then sent to Vancouver Avenue for more warranty work.
Last night 37573 was used on the 19.10 from Peterborough but had a headlight out by Walpole Highway. It made a quick visit to Lynn garage complete with passengers before re-emerging with a new bulb and continuing into Lynn. Timekeeping today was good, but roadworks in King's Lynn at the Millfleet junction did cause some evening hold ups.
Tonight K19 with 37576 went directly to Lynn depot instead of the bus station, there being no passengers to deposit at the bus station at 00.35 !
