For a car retailer. Advertising the bus's biggest competitor! Talking about shooting yourself in the foot...

Is it really Go South West's fault? Or Cornwall Council not agreeing any funding in time? Are these purely commercial initiatives?

Deleted.

I managed to pick up a set at the Northallerton Tourist Information Centre earlier in the month, whilst on holiday up there.

Ah, sorry - SWR livery.

A fairly shiny 159103 was seen passing through Brockenhurst this afternoon, heading towards Southampton Central (and then, presumably, Salisbury).

Does anyone know when the Nottingham Uni Hopper contract is retendered? I think Arriva won it eight years ago now, so must be due?

According to bustimes.org, Redroute's schoolday-only routes have gone as well: - 408 to Go Bus - 418W to 1st Bus Stop (as 418).

There are diesel MMC's on order for other parts of Go-Ahead. Source: the Commercial Director of Go South Coast, speaking at the Omnibus Society's Presidential Address in London on the 24th. January.

From the commenters underneath, they may be for a part of (what was) Go East Anglia.

Possibly. The ADL "seed" E400EV for Go-Ahead was also here for a while, as well as (briefly) a Yutong destined for First, in WESTbus green. The Activ8 service between Salisbury and Andover was used as a testing ground. Yet they're still ordering diesels - 13 ADL E400MMC's are due for Poole (8)...

Probably the BYD double-deck demonstrator, registered LF75 OTG. It's been in use on various parts of the Go South Coast patch and is on the island to help out with the forthcoming Isle of Wight Festival.

Yes - you have to change the date to one when the service is actually running (for example, this coming weekend - 30th/31st May), then press "Update" to see the times. Oddly, there is no link to the PDF timetable from that page. The relevant post on the Transport for Cornwall Facebook feed...

That's standard Go South Coast moquette, used across all of its operations.

No problem. Haven't seen the interior yet so can't comment.
