Megabus Spotting!
That's twice I've seen a Megabus along our road, yet according to their website, we're not a published route.
On both occaisions the bus was seen heading west on A47 at Burlingham in Norfolk. Why would that be?

At a guess, First Group are currently short of serviceable coaches to operate on the X1 Lowestoft/ Great Yarmouth to Norwich, Kings Lynn & Peterborough route, so they've simply leased a coach from Stagecoach (who've got some of their 'Megabus' fleet available after they've cut out unprofitable routes). i.e. what you're seeing might be just an ordinary X1...

Hmmm.
The Megabus website refuses to accept Great Yarmouth as somewhere that you can book to or from but it's shown on their route map here:
http:// uk.mega bus.com /Route% 20map.a spx
They were definitely operating on that route from 1 June last year:

That indicates that the westbound service should be seen around Burlingham at roughly 10am.

Aha!
It seems that the Great Yarmouth route only lasted for three months:

Perhaps someone has forgotten to tell the drivers?

i.e. what you're seeing might be just an ordinary X1 service but operated by a vehicle leased from another company.
