Alexander Dennis, 44518 (YX09 ACZ) |
On Monday 4th April 2016 I saw First's Norwich new Charcoal Line service that I think everybody knows about. The service 40 operates between St Stephen's Street in Norwich to Poringland at a repetitiveness of every thirty minutes throughout the day using two ex First Ipswich Alexander Dennis Enviro200s which are the
44517 and
44518. These are the first two buses to wear a brand new style of branding for First Norwich, which are in the process of being rolled out across the whole fleet, with the Pink Line StreetDecks in line next. The difference between the old and new branding is the lack of greyscale between the
'Norwich' vinyl and with the landmarks of the city in the letters. The word '
Network' now appears above the white and the
'Norwich' vinyl which sits above the doors and between the front lights in the centre . This shows that First Norwich have designed a very smart and modern bus.

In addition to this the interior space of both buses are equipped with leather seats and free wifi which is available. First Norwich also place posters and adverts about the Charcoal Line stretching from back above passengers heads, with information about the other colour routes that operate from the City Centre and how much each ticket costs.

In response to First Norwich's sudden presence in the Poringland area, Anglian have reinstated their ten-trip tickets between Poringland and Norwich City only. Also they have increased the amount of poster and adverts on their website and social media about their 87/88 and X88 through the Poringland area. More pictures will be added to the Facebook page.
