Monday 28 September 2020 (1149) – Konectbus 627 (SN65 OAG) seen
arriving at the Market Place in East Dereham on the 1035 service 11 from Swaffham. Following a driver change over the bus went on to work the 1152 town service 12.

It is an Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro400D new in September August 2015 which carries the livery and branding for the Norwich Park and Ride services. If nothing else the Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic has brought about many out of the ordinary workings to bus services.

The town sign which spans the High Street can be seen the background. It features the legend of Saint Withburga (or Wihtburh) an East Anglian princess and abbess who died in 743. The story goes that the Virgin Mary sent a pair of female deer to provide milk for her workers during the construction of a monastery founded by Withburga.
