Sunday 8 August 2021 (0949) – After Whippet Coaches Limited of Swavesey, Cambridgeshire ceased to be a contracted operator for National Express the company became a contractor to Flixbus. A number of coaches once operated on the former National Express contracts, with NX as a prefix to the fleet number), were transferred to Flixbus work becoming pre-fixed with FX.

FX28 (BV67 JZN), a Caetano Levante bodied Scania K410 new in January 2018, had previously been numbered NX28 and was seen just after it had departed the company’s garage close to where the white car is on the left of the photograph.

The improved A14 highway and the Cambridge Services service area can be seen on the right. A rather striking suspension footbridge spans the main highway (three lanes each way), two local roads (one lane each way) and an exit slip road from the eastbound A14 (two lanes).
