Go to Town (WNCT) RX72 TJV in King's Lynn - 18 Sep 2025 (P1220444)

Thursday 18 September 2025 (1128) – West Norfolk Community Transport trades as Go to Town and as well as providing services from the rural hinterland of Downham Market, Swaffham, Wisbech and King’s Lynn operates a number of town services in the latter.

Having planned my itinerary to include a ride on the Grange Estate service 4 in North Lynn, I was initially surprised at the type of bus that turned up although, as the vehicle meandered round the narrow avenues and streets (with a prolific number of speed humps, parked cars and delivery vans) I realised the benefits of such a vehicle. (Having said that I had seen a Wright Streetlite WF working an earlier service 4 run).

RX72 TJV, an EVM Cityline bodied Mercedes-Benz 517 CDi Sprinter new in November 2022, seen in the Bus Station having returned from working the 1100 circular service. The full circular takes 29 minutes and runs every 30 minutes.

This was the third of four buses I travelled on during my outing today:

Bus 1: Coach Services Limited BU16 OZO – South Gate, London Road to the Bus Station.
Bus 2: Lynx (Coastal Red) 11 (YJ07 VSK) – Bus Station to Felstead Estate then Gaywood Tesco.
Bus 3: Go to Town (WNCT) RX72 TJV – Gaywood Tesco via North Lynn to the Bus Station.
Bus 4: First Eastern Counties Buses 36903 (YN69 XZG), Bus Station to South Gate, London Road.
