Today was the commencement of Dereham based Go-Ahead Group company Konectbus operating all six of Norwich's Park & Ride sites, having taken three from Norse and retaining three they have operated previously. In a seperate post to our series looking at Norwich's Park & Ride, we bring you some of the best photos taken of the new operation. Unfortunately I was unable to visit the site at Costessey, however I intend to do so tomorrow to bring you photos of services 510 and 511.
