Peelings Coaches RIG 6493 0845hrs Fakenham to King's Lynn 270421
First day of operation for Tittleshall based Peelings Coaches reintroduced Tuesday only service PE1 and here we see Wright bodied Volvo B7RLE type RIG 6493 - “The Legionnaire” about to make the right turn from Church Lane onto High Street in Tittleshall as it works the above inaugural journey. Having reached this point from Fakenham by way of Colkirk and Whissonsett the route to King’s Lynn continues via Mileham, Litcham, East Lexham, West Lexham, Castle Acre, West Acre, East Walton and Gayton. This routing is slightly different to the previous Tuesday service PE1 which was withdrawn after operation on 2nd April 2019, while the Friday only service PE1 variant, which commenced/terminated at Tittleshall, ran for the last time on 5th April 2019. Some timing points are only served by request to setdown on the return journey from Lynn to Fakenham.
The scene is dominated by some splendid trees in the background and the tower of Tittleshall Church which is dedicated to St Mary. It was good to see some passengers were using the service.
Delivered new to Arriva Kent Thameside in March 2006 with registration GN06 EVK and fleet number 3807 it later passed to Lothian East Coast Buses as their 10103 where it received cherished plate RIG 6493 and subsequently transferred to become Lothian Country 103 in late 2018. As we can see the former LC gold lined green and cream livery layout has been retained and adapted with the green areas repainted dark blue.
