In Great Yarmouth we had the council blue buses and the red Eastern Counties (privately owned) buses. The council then sold the blue buses to Eastern Counties buses then a small bus company started up called Banana Buses. In the meantime First Bus bought Eastern Counties buses...

and then bought the Banana Buses leaving Great Yarmouth residents with no choice of who to use for their public transport.

Great news, though Iโll always have a soft spot for the anarchic UK North service down Oxford Road..
