Percivals Motors 79 (LWL 743W) on the A11 at Barton Mills – 20 Apr 1985 (14-13)

Saturday 20 April 1985 (approx. 1340) - Percivals Motors (Oxford) Limited 79 (LWL 743W) passing the Bull Inn on the A11 at Barton Mills. When the dual carriageway was built, which runs across the scene beyond the coach and in front of the large house now on the corner of the road to Tuddenham, this roadway became a local road into Barton Mills village which is still recognisable today. The entrance to the Bull Inn car park is on the left.

The coach, a Plaxton Supreme bodied Leyland Leopard new in January 1980, was working the 1110 Lowestoft-Bristol service 747, a cross-country service worked jointly by Percivals, Premier Travel and National Express. This was day 2 of a diagram that covered the 0615 Cambridge-Lowestoft (arriving 1000) followed by this run.
