Go to Town (WNCT) RX72 TJV in King's Lynn - 18 Sep 2025 (P1220438)

Thursday 18 September 2025 (1106) – 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 approaching the Gaywood Road Tesco bus stop when working the 1100 service where I boarded. 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 Limited) 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.
