Thursday 20 February 2025 (1055) - Mulleys Motorways Limited YJ23 EKN seen in Mildenhall when working the 1020 service 355 from Bury St. Edmunds to Beck Row.

It is one of the two Optare MetroDeckers delivered to Mulleys in March 2023 which were part of an order placed by Reading Buses in June 2018 to operate the Green Line branded route 702 from London to Slough, Windsor and Legoland. Reading Buses cancelled the order in July 2020 as part of a number of financial cutbacks made following the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. (Optare was renamed Switch Mobility in November 2020).
