Stagecoach East 15958 (YN14 OXJ) in Burwell - 27 Oct 2022 (P1130933)

Thursday 27 October 2022 (0943) - Stagecoach East 15958 (YN14 OXJ) seen on The Causeway in Burwell. It is an Alexander Dennis N230UD bodied Scania N230UD that was new in May 2014 and wears Stagecoach Gold livery with branding for the Cambridge-Haverhill service 13. It was however working the 0850 service 11 from Cambridge to Newmarket and Bury St. Edmunds.

During mid-September 2022 Stagecoach East announced its intention to withdraw quite a number of bus services which it said were no longer commercially sustainable. Their services 11/X11 ceased after operation on Saturday 29 October 2022 along with the Cambridge-Newmarket-Ely service 12. Replacement services were introduced by Stephensons of Essex from Monday 31 October 2022.

Using the tracker on the Bus Times website this bus was shown as running the following trips today:

0650 Haverhill-Cambridge 0811 (13B)
0850 Cambridge-Newmarket 1007 (11)
1024 Newmarket-Bury St. Edmunds 1049 (11)
1105 Bury St. Edmunds-Cambridge 1259 (11)
1430 Cambridge-Haverhill 1552 (13A)
1552 Haverhill-Cambridge 1723 (13)
1730 Cambridge-Haverhill 1902 (13)

(Presumably the bus started and finished the day at the Haverhill parking location)
