Limp Kickdown | First Norwich Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse Urban 66824 (MX05 CEV)- Route 36A

One of Norwich's questionable remaining Euro 3 B7RLEs, 66824 is slightly unique being new to Manchester, rather than Leicster, then passing to Essex and a brief spell at Ipswich. This one spends most of its time on the Purple Line and seems to kick pretty much however its driven, providing some decent sounds out to Long Stratton. Nonetheless, its certainly seen better days is nowehere near as healthy as some of the remaining KX05s!
