DSCF9090 Theobold’s Coaches L15 TBC (YN04 AUU) leaving Red Lodge, Suffolk - 5 Aug 2017

Saturday 5 August 2017 (0948) – Theobold’s Coaches of Dunstable, Bedfordshire L15 TBC, a Neoplan N516 new to Parry’s of Cheslyn Hay in March 2004 as YN04 AUU. It was seen about to re-join the A11 at Red Lodge, Suffolk when working a combined excursion and holiday express service from the Bedfordshire area to Great Yarmouth. The facility was listed in the company brochure each Saturday from 22 July until 2 September in 2017. I suspect it had just taken a break at either the Red Lodge Café or Red Lodge Inn. In past years there was quite an abundance of companies that operated Saturday holiday services to the Norfolk coast which travelled through this district making a call at one of the catering establishments in Red Lodge or Barton Mills. Nowadays the holiday services are all but gone. Glad to see there is one survivor!
