Freestone’s Coaches (Megabus contractor) S28 FSC at Fiveways, Barton Mills - 12 Dec 2021 (P1100192)

Sunday 12 December 2021 (1055) – Freestone’s Coaches S28 FSC, an Irizar i6 bodied Scania K410, seen at Fiveways, Barton Mills when working the 0955 Megabus service M37 from Norwich to Birmingham.

This service was suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown and after the service resumed it was expanded to operate Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays not only with this morning service westbound returning from Birmingham in the late afternoon, it also featured a morning service from Birmingham to Norwich with an late afternoon service from Norwich to Birmingham.

This livery is the latest style which has replaced that which featured the 'Megabus Sid' character.

Courtesy of a contributor to the East Norfolk Bus Blog website I am told this coach was originally registered YN16 WUL and so was new to City Circle, Newbridge, Edinburgh in May 2016. It appears to have had the wheelchair lift/door and destination displays added later.
