The two new liveried ex-X1 Volvo B7TL Wright Eclipse Geminis were indeed out and about in Norwich this morning. The new XI Enviros look much smarter in the flesh than the photos I had seen of them... I saw several of them. I particularly like the white LED destination display... very clear and striking. Looking forward to having a trip on one soon. Michael
ReplyDeleteHi Michael! I myself am particularly looking forward to a first look at the new Enviros tomorrow! I believe 37156 and 37158 were out in service today, as 37159 and 37160 were present at Roundtree Way this afternoon. Pictures on my Flickr :)
ReplyDeleteSaw both 37156 and 37158 yesterday as well. Managed to catch 33803 into the city yesterday. Very comfortable and plenty of leg room. Looking forward to many more journeys on these buses. John
