Sanders 115 1030hrs Sheringham to Norwich 020121
A walk into town to pick up a neighbour’s prescription gave me the opportunity to take a couple of shots and here we see Sanders former Nottingham City Transport East Lancs bodied Scania N94UD Omnidekka type number 115 - YN53 CFF “OCEANUS” as it passes through “the narrows” section of Church Street in Cromer whilst working the above service X44 journey. The infamous “marmite regeneration” of Cromer Town Centre which took place in the early 2000s, resulted in the whole length of Church Street being narrowed to provide wider pavements, although in this original narrow section they remain virtually nonexistent, especially beside The Albion PH to the right. Hard to believe this was once a two way thoroughfare. In the background we can see the tower of St Peter & St Paul’s church, at 160ft the tallest in Norfolk. The church has undoubtedly witnessed many events in the 600 plus years it has dominated the town, but surely nothing quite like the year 2020.
Originally named “CASSIUS” when it joined the Sanders fleet in June 2017, vehicle 115 had lost the name by July 2019, but was subsequently rechristened at some point during the first Coronavirus lockdown period and certainly by July 2020.
