Chenery H62 PDW (National Express livery) 16 Jan 1994

Sunday 16 January 1994 (1112) – Just east of Fiveways at Barton Mills during the replacement of the road bridge crossing a large watercourse. R W Chenery of Dickleburgh, Norfolk H62 PDW was operating the 1200 London (Victoria) to Norwich National Express ‘Rapide’ service 599 and the coach is seen entering a temporary loop around the closed main road. At the time the A11 was only single carriageway between Barton Mills and Thetford and it was to be a further 20 years before the long awaited dual carriageway was opened between the two locations (in December 2014). Chenery began operating the service 599 contract effective Sunday 23 May 1993 using four Kässbohrer-Setra coaches, three model S215HD like this and one model S215HR, all of which had been new to Bebb Travel of Llantwit Fadre.
