Sanders 203 1530hrs Fakenham Academy to Hindolveston 180619
A new location this time and here we see Sanders Optare Solo type number 203 - MX09 AOU about to set down shortly after turning off of Church Road on to Rectory Road in the village of Wood Norton whilst operating the above journey on Fakenham Academy school day only service 308. From Fakenham, it has reached this point - which is still designated as the long closed Post Office - by way of Guist and will continue through to Hindolveston. Up until 30th May 2010, when it was partly incorporated into a revised and rerouted service 98 Cawston - Fakenham, Sanders Thursday only Market Day service 14 from Holt to Fakenham passed this way, but apart from service 308, Wood Norton now appears to be busless.
According to the Parish Council website the village sign, which depicts All Saints Church, is currently away for repainting. Behind the tree to the right of shot is the former village school and to the left we can see that the phone box, like many other examples, is now occupied by a Defibrillator. I hope to return here when the village sign is back from repainting, but it will have to be another overcast afternoon.
On schooldays, both the above 308 journey and the morning inward run are part of a Monday to Friday duty which is normally worked by the same bus and driver each day. In between these school related activities, on Monday they operate service 24 Fakenham - Norwich via Reepham, on Tuesday & Friday service 25 Fakenham - Dereham via Litcham, on Wednesday 23 Horningtoft - Norwich via Litcham and on Thursday 98 Foulsham - Fakenham via Reepham.
