Unusual workings / New route for Norwich First

In the last couple of weeks I have noticed some unusual buses on different routes operated by Ipswich Buses and First Ipswich. My first sighting was the X5 branded Alexander ALX200 Dart 139 which was operating as the X3, while its 142 was on the X2 to Greenwich

For the time being it has been highlighted that the Scania N94UB Omnicity 70 has been operating as the X3. In addition the Dennis Trident Alexander ALX400 19 is being withdrawn later this month and has been operating as route number 4.  It became apparent that the branded route 4 TransBus Dart SLF East Lancs Myllenium 85 and 86 have been working the routes 8 and 13.

My last unusual sighting was a Volvo B7TL Transbus/Alexander Dennis ALX400 32490 which is usually on the route 66, which has been working the route 88 to Chilton Hall instead of the normal Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse-Urban. Finally it has been reported that First Norwich are introducing a brand new bus line which is going to be Charcoal between Norwich city centre and Poringland. This will see two Alexander Dennis Enviro200 leaving First Ipswich for Norwich, 44517 (picture below Summer 2015) and 44518.
