Mulleys MUI 7919 (00D 40014, X179 CHJ) in Bury St. Edmunds - 23 Nov 2019 (P1050922)

Saturday 23 November 2019 – Mulleys Motorways operated the Park and Ride service again this year for the Bury St. Edmunds Christmas Fayre.

The Norman Tower forms a backcloth to MUI 7919 seen in Churchgate Street at Chequer Square as it arrived from the Park and Ride site at Saxham Business Park. It is an Alexander bodied Volvo B7TL new as Dublin Bus AV14 (00D 40014) in September 2000 which became X179 CHJ when imported to England. Mulleys re-registered it to MUI 7919 in May 2016.

The Norman Tower, which was the principal gateway into Bury St Edmunds' great abbey church, was built between 1120 and 1148. One of the oldest Norman buildings in England and one of the most complete Norman buildings in the UK as it has never been altered.
