The coach was tested between King's Lynn and Norwich this morning. Particularly pleasing was the section through Dereham Market Place which was thought to be a stumbling block, as the vehicle is some two feet longer than the Enviro 400s currently in use, however, this was navigated with room to spare.
This afternoon the coach ran at 15.15 from King's Lynn to Peterborough following the service route without any problems. The coach was collected at Peterborough and returned north whence it came.
It must have been quite strange to have witnessed the coach on test passing the Scania double deck demonstrator between Wisbech and Guyhirn this afternon. The double decker is now working longer diagrams in its last few weeks on loan, having proved itself on the shorter turns.
Here are some pictures kindly provided by our contact at First showing the coach on test today :

The length of the six wheeler is emphasised by my poor shot of it leaving Wisbech this afternoon :

It's a Scania Touring, assuming the 13.7m option. They'll go round just as easy, if not easier than an Enviro400 as they have a dual steer rear axle. A return of coaches on the route would be nice!!
Coaches will do .Look at the x5
