Whippet Coaches (National Express contractor) NX22 (BL17 XBA)in Mildenhall - 13 Aug 2019 (P1040064)

Tuesday 13 August 2019 (1019) – Whippet Coaches NX22 (BL17 XBA), a Caetano Levante bodied Scania K410 new in June 2017, seen arriving in Mildenhall when working the 0630 National Express service 727 from Heathrow to Norwich.

Service 727 had its origins as a ‘Jetlink’ branded service which later saw operation under the ‘National Express Airport’ brand. It was worked by National Express Operations Limited for a number of years (covered from garages near Heathrow and Stansted Airports as well as from an outstation at Norwich). In January 2018 Whippet took over as the contractor for this service (and for some of the London services from Norfolk and Suffolk) working from an outstation near Diss/Eye in Suffolk.
