DSCF9487 Mulleys Motorways YJ57 YDB in Bury St. Edmunds - 5 Jun 2015

Friday 5 June 2015 (1114) - Mulleys Motorways YJ57 YDB seen in St. Andrew's Street, Bury St. Edmunds working service M55 to the Mildenhall and Howard housing estates. It is a 10.2 metre long Optare Solo new to Peterborough City Council (#600) in December 2007. The Council began a small scale bus operation in 2007(?) in order to operate a number of regular bus services which could not be run viably by a commercial operator thus requiring Council subsidy. On July 1 2011 this operation was transferred to Enterprise Peterborough, a partnership created by the Council with outsourcing contractor Enterprise. In 2013 it was decided that these bus services, branded ‘Local Link’, would again be contracted out and Stagecoach in Peterborough became the chosen bidder.
