Local bus operator First has announced the introduction of 22 brand new (ADL Enviro400) buses to their existing fleet in the South East.
These buses will boast free WiFi for passengers, air chill and luxurious leather seats with additional legroom. They will also be the only bus operator in Norfolk to introduce 'Next Stop' announcements ensuring passengers never miss their bus stop.
The new buses will replace the existing vehicles used on First's flagship 'X1 Excel' route, operating 120 miles between Lowestoft and Peterborough via Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, Norwich, Dereham, Swaffham, King's Lynn and Wisbech.
All 22 new buses will be showcasing a new purple/blue and gold 'express' livery, highlighting the improved benefits and including destination vinyls on the windows.
