Chenery H62 PDW (National Express livery) 20 Jun 1993

Sunday 20 June 1993 (1402) – R W Chenery of Dickleburgh, Norfolk H62 PDW seen descending Chalk Hill on the A11 approaching Barton Mills when operating the 1200 London (Victoria) to Norwich National Express ‘Rapide’ service 599. It was due to arrive Norwich at 1445. Just visible on the right edge of the photograph is a crop of blue flowered linseed which provided a nice splash of colour in reality which didn’t show as vivid in the photograph. The coach is one of three Kässbohrer-Setra S215HD coaches (H62-H64 PDW) new to Bebb Travel of Llantwit Fadre in April 1991. Chenery began operating the service 599 contract effective Sunday 23 May 1993. The service offered five trips each way with one coach staying overnight in London and, despite only requiring three coaches to work the service, there were four coaches in the fleet carrying National Express livery. The fourth coach (D704 NUH) was another former Bebb Travel vehicle although a S215HR model.
