Saturday 19 July 2025 (0928) – Theobolds Coaches of Luton BV19 SZL, a King Long C9 that had been new to Peter Carol, Bristol in June 2019, seen at the Shell Service Area, Fiveways, Barton Mills.

For some years Theobolds has operated this combined holiday express service/day excursion from Dunstable, Houghton Regis and Luton to Great Yarmouth on Summer Saturdays. For 2025 the dates of operation were the seven Saturdays of the school holiday period (19 July to 30 August). As well as carrying holiday passengers who stay at the coast for a week or more the coach is also advertised as a day excursion. It would give day visitors an arrival at about 1130 returning about 1630.

Theobolds appears to share the same management as County Coaches (UK) LLP which trades as coachhire4u. The logo of the latter appears on the entrance door.
