S.U.T. Limited A339 YDT in Mildenhall - 11 Feb 1989 (81-7)

Saturday 11 February 1989 (1317) – S.U.T. of Sheffield operated the National Express service 351 through Mildenhall for a time. A339 YDT was running about 25 minutes late when seen at King Street, Mildenhall operating the 1010 service from Lowestoft to Manchester.

Between Lowestoft and Cambridge this departure slotted into the two hourly frequency schedule mainly covered by service 747. This particular timing was always popular with riders bound for Newmarket and Cambridge for the afternoon and there had been quite a crowd of waiting passengers including Jane (Sparrow) and John (surname?) at the kerbside.

The initials S.U.T. were derived from the well respected name of Sheffield United Tours, a company which was absorbed into National Travel (East). The post privatisation owners used names like N.T.E and S.U.T.

The coach is a Jonckheere Jubilee bodied Volvo B10M registered in May 1984, one of ten such coaches (A332-341 YDT) new to National Travel (East) in the Spring of that year delivered in a contract livery for tour operator Intasun.
