Lynx (Coastal Red) 24 (YJ60 KAO) in King’s Lynn - 14 Jan 2022 (P1100590)

Friday 14 January 2022 (1125) - One of the operators that has become highly prominent in the West Norfolk area in recent years is Coastal Red Limited which trades as Lynx.

A fleet list I have dated November 2021 shows quite a standardised operational fleet comprising 29 Optare Tempo single deckers (plus 8 more in reserve) whilst the double deck fleet comprises 7 Wright Eclipse Geminis (plus 2 more in reserve) and 2 ADL Enviro400 MMC.

Optare Tempo 24 (YJ60 KAO) was new to Transdev Blazefield owned Lancashire United (1308) in September 2010 and is seen here in King’s Lynn bus station.

The bus station adjoins the ‘Vancouver Quarter’ shopping centre which is named for Captain George Vancouver (1757-1798), the Naval Officer born in King’s Lynn, who explored the North American Pacific region in the late 18th century. A number of locations in that region are named after him also including the Canadian city.
