Left: 36190 (BN12 JYP), a Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B9TL With branding for the Red Line group of services 23 and 24 (which also includes variants 23A/24A) is new in June 2012 to First Games Transport - the division of the First Group that provided transport at the 2012 London Olympics.

Right: With branding for the Orange Line group of services 21 and 22 is 33150 (LR02 LXJ), a Plaxton President bodied Dennis Trident new to First Centrewest (TN1150) in May 2002 for Transport for London (TfL) contracted services. Now branded for the Orange Line services 21/22 (Norfolk & Norwich Hospital or Bowthorpe-City Centre-Old Catton).

In the centre is Our Hire which trades as Our Bus YJ62 FZD, an Optare Solo new to Britannia Parking, Bournemouth in September 2012, working the 1015 service 132 from Cotman Fields to Keswick Hall.

It rather looks like it may have been crew changeover time judging by the First drivers congregated on the pavement beyond 33150.
