DSCN5683 Norfolk Green YJ10 EYA

Monday 23 May 2011 (1544) - Norfolk Green 317 (YJ10 EYA), an Optare Solo Slimline new in 2009, seen in Wells-next-the-Sea when working the 1438 Cromer to Kings Lynn Coasthopper service. This popular service is about 55 miles long and serves many towns, villages, holiday spots and countryside attractions along the North Norfolk coastal road. On paper it is divided into three sections (Section 1: Kings Lynn-Hunstanton; section 2: Hunstanton-Wells; and section 3 Wells-Cromer) although I believe most buses run through. The bus is named ‘Thomas William Coke’. Coke (1754–1842) was a British politician and agricultural reformer. Holkham Hall, a couple of miles west of Wells and my destination on this bus, was at the heart of the Coke family estate.
