Not much longer to go for these old girls, only right that I took the chance to travel on one on the nice and open Colchester - Clacton corridor, a chance to stretch their legs and show what a 3-speed Voith D851.3E gearbox can do.
579/W526WGH, a 10m Volvo B7TL with Plaxton President bodywork, started out in life at Merton depot (AL), where it remained until around 2012. It was then transferred to Chambers, and now resides at Hedingham's Clacton depot.
It is seen here on Head Street in Colchester having just worked an X76 from Jaywick and Clacton-on-Sea. What a run.
