Stephensons 431 (EU10 NVP) in Worlington - 4 May 2020 (P1060670)

Monday 4 May 2020 (0942) – Some legitimate exercise during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) lockdown by taking a cycle ride via Worlington at just the right time enabled me to get my first bus photographs in quite some weeks.

Unfortunately there are many things which have changed our lives of late including seeing the Springtime foliage and blossom always in abundance at this time of year. One of my favourite springtime blossoms is that of the horse chestnut tree and this magnificent specimen dwarfs one of two buses to pass by this way in a short space of time this morning.

Service 357 from Mildenhall to Bury St. Edmunds via Red Lodge, Tuddenham and Risby operated by Mulleys Motorways has continued running as normal although Mulleys commercially run service 355 via Ickingham has been suspended until further notice. The other bus passing by this way is the Stephensons of Essex service 16 running from Bury St. Edmunds to Newmarket on a much reduced timetable.

Stephensons 431 (EU10 NVP), an Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro200 new in August 2010, is working the 0900 service from Bury St. Edmunds.
