Konectbus 50 1430hrs Weybourne to Cromer 030515
Sunday 3rd May 2015 marks the first day of operations on the Konectbus Open Top Norfolk Coaster service 22 between Cromer and Weybourne as well as increased service levels on their 2/2A Cromer - Sheringham/Sheringham - Holt. In this view we see Northern Counties bodied Volvo Olympian R739 XRV, which is numbered 50 in the Konectbus fleet, approaching the stop on Station Approach in Sheringham whilst heading for Cromer with the above journey on service 22. As last year the Weybourne terminus is at the Muckleburgh Collection. Almost inevitably, to coincide with the introduction of service 22 and the Bank Holiday Weekend, we had the first period of prolonged rainfall in these parts for many weeks overnight and this morning.
As well as the reintroduction of service 22 from today, 3rd May 2015, Konectbus have again revised their 2 and 2A timetables. This year two am and pm vehicle positioning journeys in each direction between Dereham and Holt now operate on a daily basis as an extension of service 2A, thus providing connections to and from the coast. In the morning they depart Dereham at 0700 and 0900hrs. For the 2014/5 winter period the extension of the 2A had only operated Monday to Saturday. Services 2/2A and 22 again provide a daily half hourly service over the Cromer to Sheringham section. On Sunday, when the 2 only operates to and from Norwich every two hours, the half hourly frequency is achieved by having an additional 0940hrs departure from Norwich to Holt. This bus then operates Holt - Cromer short return workings in between the Norwich service timings before finishing with one of the two afternoon 2A journeys back to Dereham.
