Sand Bay is generally Streetlites in the winter but deckers are operated sometimes. 37333 was on it a couple of weeks ago and last Friday a Streetlite was changed for a Streetdeck during the day, a bit of an overkill for the 10 passengers! According to BusTimes, one of the B9 opentop was on...

All the North Somerset X services will be operated by Weston from Sunday. At present some journies on X1, X4, X6, X7 and X9 are run by Marlborough Street.

First day of open top in Weston this year - 37630 on service 1.

Mendip Explorer 33665 in Weston depot today ready for Weston's duty on 126 tomorrow.

Stagecoach starting new sevice 50 in Weston on Monday requiring 3 buses. Does anyone know what buses will be used. I estimate around a thousand 'dead' miles a week from Patchway - are there any plans for a local outstaion?

Was at Weston on Saturday

We may want to, but don't forget 39005 the Wright Hybrid; also 37355 has been at Weston poorly for a while but may be on loan. That's 38 deckers for a requirement of 31, so there will be a shortfall suggesting maybe the rest of Bath's Streetwrecks will end up here. Then there will be extra...

Just read on First West of England website that the new 'bus hub' in Weston-super-Mare due to oppen on Sunday, has been delayed until furthjer notice due to 'safety concerns'

The 'Interchange' but not to First Bus who, on the new timetables for 2,3,4,6 and 7 call it 'Regent Street', technically correct but better known as Alexandra Parade. The timetables they have publiished refer to the stop letters as N and S rather than the actual letters shown by Citistar. The...

Weston also has 35137 from same batch but disgraced itself on its first outing by breaking down at Burnham on 14 December. Yes, strange choice of the two Streetlites due to demise of the Darts and transfer of the 51 from Stagecoach. 1640958795 The Weston Mercury website reported a fire on a...

The other Scania could be 36808 which like 807 hasn't tracked for a while; both did Isle of Wight rail replacement in the Summer.

Long Ashton M2 bus 36807 has arrived at Weston depot newly painted in blue. Colour looks similar to 39472 - Weston Pride bus perhaps?

On the First West of England website, SOME new timetables are shown under TIMETABLES - FORTHCOMING. These are all Bristol City timetables, nothing for north Somerset. Under 'Planned Changes', still no information. Travelwest shows new timetables but there are errors eg X7 journeys on Mon - Fri...

Thank you for that info. I'm surprised its a commecial operation and won't last long if it doesn't serve areas where there is a high proportion of elderly people. I have now been told by a member of First staff that they can't serve parts of the route because 'we don't have any minibuses' - so...

Yes I can confirm that it is missing out Paragon Road, Trinity Church and Shrubbery as I've seen one journey this morning. Seems like its make it up as you go. It defeats the main object of the service and is no replacement for the C2. I was unaware of the High Street and Lower Bristol Road...
