Anglian Omnidekka Trio Complete

For the first time today all three Anglian ex Metrobus Scanias were on the road. This might not happen very often as it seems they may have more teething troubles than a buck toothed shark, so as I have been first in bringing you pics of all three I thought I'd bring all three together in one post.

The first arrival was 556, YN55 PZF, which only lasted a couple of days before having to go back down to Hampshire to have things sorted out. She is now back and earning a living again.

Friday last week saw the arrival of 554 YN55 PZC. After spending the weekend being prepped, on Monday she was found on the 7/61's.

And so today saw the final Omnidekka, 555, YN55 PZR make its Anglian debut on the 88's. I didn't even know she was out in service yet, I was just waiting in Halesworth for the 62 for the final time and she turned up. Nice one, so bagged a pic, worked out her diagram, and caught her back from Norwich later on. They are all comfortable, with better seats than any of the other Scanias, rattles that are no more than you'd expect from a 10yo bus, and look great. I just have this uneasy feeling that they might be plagued by the sort of niggly problems that you always take a gamble with when buying second hand. Time will tell and I hope I'm wrong.

 Anglian are dominating the blog at the moment, and that will continue with the last days of several routes this week. There will be a couple of special posts over the weekend and I'll try and get a couple of foreign posts up with contributor's pics too.
