    Prentice Westwood Coaches join the McGill’s Bus Group

    All the scrap has been cleared in the last few months or so - there's one scrap B12B remaining and a couple of newer coaches that are out of use I believe. The nearby McGills depot already has Prentice Westwood signage up as of Saturday.

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    So far I've not seen the new lettering on any Bristol vehicles, all the ones I've photographed in the last week have had First Somerset and Avon legals, including today. Maybe only the country fleet has been done so far?

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    66120 is supposedly moving later this week, and apparently hasn't had any windows smashed as of today. Meant to be going to Cardiff I think if I've remembered that right. Was very briefly at SGBC but not at all related to 1910. At my last count there were 13 buses at Muller Road 4 Marshall...

    West Country Independents

    Interesting, I wasn't aware of the age being specified - Wessex used much older vehicles on the routes I'm sure. I'm assuming the contract has changed? That sounds like a likely plan though, more Solo SRs in Bristol then :roll: Wonder if the Dart will be sold, go elsewhere, it be used as a spare...

    Does anyone know if CT Plus' DP1 is still there? If so I wonder if that might be used on some of the new stuff they've picked up. Just a theory, nothing backing it up

    30857 is Bath has been painted white rather than cream, so I expect something could be gained from 32017 being cream

    http://www.nigelmccree.com/index.php/for-sale/buses/item/798-2006-plaxton-primo-dda-28 Looks like 57000 is for sale on the same site as the Tridents and B7TLs

    January it had its accident believe it or not! http://m.bathchronicle.co.uk/pictures/Pictures-damage-bus-van-collision-Wellsway-Bath/pictures-28570549-detail/pictures.html Nice to see the W reg B7TLs are being sold on for further use (and some presumably to stay as only half have been...

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    The swap is basically arranged and minor work has been done on 66110 already, the swap should take place this weekend. 66104 had quite a bit of work done to make it into a trainer so it was easier to start with one that was less broken :lol: On another note, does anyone know the situation...

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    66104 has been withdrawn for a while, however I can't say at this time whether it will be that one or another member of the batch (66110 is the best option currently) that will be preserved. Either way, one is secured and has been payed for so a BOU is safe! It is a little confusing as First...

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    I haven't seen it anywhere on this thread yet but I have posted it on FirstBus Enthusiasts on Facebook, 32023 has been converted to DDA compliance! New ramp, wheelchair area handrail (just about an inch further into the aisle!) and stop button sound (buzzer as well as the old bell). Apparently...

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    32686 and 37626 (I think - certainly was a 3762- B9) out on Severn Express today that I noticed, didn't see any of the branded B7TLs. 42898 on 5 too. I've also noticed 47439 and possibly 47449 seem to have had a new exhaust fitted which makes them sound quite different - and it also comes out of...
