Last weekend saw East Anglia Transport Museum hosts its 1940s weekend. First Eastern Counties supported the event by laying on a free park and ride service. The service was operated by a brand new First Norwich Wrightbus Streetdeck 35200.

Through out the two days there were trips out and about to Beccles and Lowestoft. These were worked by the home fleet of buses, representing the Great Yarmouth Corporation was the Leyland PD2 66 (EX6566) and AEC Reliance 85 (AEX85B) and for the Lowestoft Corporation was the AEC Regent 21 (GBJ192). To make up the foursome of buses there was another AEC Regent RT3125 in form of the London County .
