Whippet Coaches (National Express contractor) NX32 (BV67 JZO) at Barton Mills - 26 Aug 2019 (P1040155)

Saturday 24 August 2019 (1228) – Bank Holiday traffic on the eastbound carriageway of the A11 leading towards Fiveways roundabout, Barton Mills.

Whippet Coaches NX32 (BV67 JZO), a Caetano Levante bodied Scania K410 new in January 2018, was working the 0830 National Express service 727 running a little late – it was due at Mildenhall at 1215.

The coach had left the dual carriageway at Chalk Hill to use the parallel section of the original old road. It was now about to re-join the queuing traffic on the dual carriageway on which there is a flour tanker of Heygates Flour. These vehicles are a regular sight to and from the former Marston’s Mill at nearby Icklingham. Heygates acquired Marstons in 2017.

(In April 2021 this vehicle received Flixbus livery when Whippet took on a number of contracts for that company).
