Don't think this was the one I rode, but it does give an idea.

Also, one of the 'Whippet Puppy' E200's (didn't ride these).

I also sampled bits of the Busway network down there, I only managed to get haulage on the Stagecoach E400's along there though.
That day out was a bit of a mess though as I was originally heading to Cambridge for a enthusiast tour but was cancelled a few days before it was due to take place but I had already bought the train tickets, so had to try and make up something at the last minute.
Having checked my notes, it was the E300 I rode and not an E200.
The Whippet network is pretty decent, with a mix of regular and infrequent services. Enough of a network to make a day of it.
