First Eastern Counties 44533 (SN62 DBV) in Lowestoft - 29 Mar 2022 (P1110224)

Tuesday 29 March 2022 (1401) – First Eastern Counties Buses Limited
44533 (SN62 DBV), an Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro200 bodied Dart SLF that was new to First Hampshire & Dorset in December 2012, seen in Katwijk Way, Lowestoft when working the 1320 Coastal Clipper service 99 from Southwold.

The town of Lowestoft was once twinned with Katwijk aan Zee, The Netherlands which is honoured with the naming of this roadway.

First Eastern Counties is now marketing itself as Coastal Reds in the Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft area using this new livery style that has almost replaced the First Bus corporate style. There are also branded liveries for two key groups of services, Coastlink (X1, X2, X11 and X22) and Coastal Clipper (1 and 1A). However, Coastal Reds liveried 44533 is covering service 99 service on this occasion (maybe always the case during the off season?).

(The Coastal Reds name should not be confused with unrelated Lynx Bus in North Norfolk that is registered with Companies House as Coastal Red Limited).
