Another Colchester Bus Theft

First Essex Colchester's depot seems to be a magnet for would be bus joy riders, and Colchester's Daily Gazette reports another incident in the early hours of Monday morning, when ex Ipswich Scania 65631 was taken from the depot. Witnesses saw it smash through some gates and reach a standstill by a block of flats. First have confirmed the incident and said the vehicle was undamaged. For the full report click here.

  2. Presumably. I confess I don't know the Colchester layout too well, but this was a Monday morning so I guess not much to do after Sunday operations
