First Eastern Counties 37566 (AU58 ECE) in Great Yarmouth - 29 Mar 2022 (P1110200)

Tuesday 29 March 2022 (1216) – First Eastern Counties Buses Limited 37566 (AU58 ECE) seen in the darkness of Market Gates bus station, Great Yarmouth when working Coastal Clipper service 1A from Lowestoft to Martham. It is a Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B9TL new in October 2008. I travelled on this bus back to Caister Road.

The company is now marketing itself as Coastal Reds in the Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft area using a new livery style that has almost replaced the First Bus corporate style. There are also branded liveries for two key groups of services, Coastal Clipper (1 and 1A) and Coastlink (X1, X2, X11 and X22).

(First Eastern Counties Buses Limited is now marketing itself as Coastal Reds in the Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft area a name not to be confused with unrelated Lynx Bus in North Norfolk that is registered with Companies House as Coastal Red Limited).
