Ambassador Travel (Anglia) Limited was the contracted operator on these services. The company was created in 1984 when the Eastern Counties Omnibus Company was split into smaller parts, Eastern Counties having originally been the operator of these and many other coach services in East Anglia prior to the formation of National Express. Ambassador Travel was privatised in 1987 and has been a National Express contractor ever since although on a smaller scale than in the past particularly as lockdowns were implemented as part of the Coronavirus pandemic from early 2020.

At the time of the study Ambassador Travel had six National Express liveried Caetano Levante bodied Scania K360EB4 coaches in its fleet. Details of these are shown in the document. Photographs of some of other coaches forming the fleet since the mid-1980s may be seen in this Ipernity album:
