Coach Services MX05 OUE 1051hrs Broom Green Council Houses to Dereham 300819
After taking over operation from week commencing Monday 1st April 2019, Thetford based Coach Services brief tenure of former Konectbus Tuesday & Friday services 17 West Bradenham - Dereham and Friday only service 18 Dereham Circular via Foulsham came to an end today, Friday 30th August 2019. It is suggested that as from next week, operation of these two services will pass to the ever expanding West Norfolk Community Transport. However, as of today there appears to be no confirmation/information to support this suggestion on the WNCT “Go to town” website, although both services have been removed from the Traveline site.
A second shot of former Enterprise of Peterborough Optare Solo type - MX05 OUE and this time we see it heading along The Street in Bintree whilst working the last Coach Services operated inbound journey on service 18 to Dereham. Note that the above journey had commenced from Broom Green Council Houses, although Konectbus previously ran service 18 as morning clockwise/afternoon anticlockwise circuits from/to Dereham. Having reached Bintree by way of Guist and Foulsham the above journey continues to Dereham via Foxley, Bawdeswell, Billingford and North Elmham, although the latter is not shown as a timing point.
Not previously mentioned is the fact that the service 18 route presumably saw Coach Services serve a village in Norfolk's Broadland District for the first time.
To the left of shot we can see the currently closed Royal Oak PH which has recently had a chequered existence, having both closed and reopened a couple of times in the last few years. Prior to realignment, The Street would have been part of the main A1067 Fakenham to Norwich road.
