Chenery H63 PDW and H62 PDW (National Express livery) on the A11 near Barton Mills - 13 Oct 1995

Friday 13 October 1995 (1358) – During repairs to the westbound carriageway of the A11 at Barton Mills various temporary traffic diversions and a contraflow operation was in force. This ‘being in the right place at the right time’ flook photograph features two Kässbohrer-Setra S215HD of Richard W Chenery working the National Express ‘Rapide’ service 599.

On the left is H63 PDW working the 1305 service from Norwich to London and on the right is H62 PDW working the 1200 service from London to Norwich. Both were running a little late so I wouldn’t have expected them to pass each other at this spot. Chenery began operating this service effective Sunday 23 May 1993 using four Kässbohrer-Setra coaches (three model S215HD and one model S215HR) all of which had been new to Bebb Travel of Llantwit Fadre.
