That's interesting with the town services. Depends on who has 68 and how that changes. Yeovil town is 6 I think at the mo, but will basically see off the remaining darts
1652979879
Also interesting to note how 54 and 55 will work - one starts off in Yeovil then finishes in Taunton and the other...
I see the timetables have now come up
1652963049
So 77 hourly and college run scrapped. 55 college run, presumably replacing 55C. 54 Taunton-Somerton hourly, like CD says first and last run go to/from Yeovil, presumably for college workings - do we reckon Yeovil or Taunton will run this.
29 and...
The timetables on Traveline appear to show:
1 - increased to 20 mins.
2 - decreased to hourly.
4 - decreased to hourly. Town services I think reduce PVR by 2
21/A - college runs removed.
22 - Tiverton scrapped?
14/15 - terminates at bus station.
Anyone able to confirm if Tiverton scrapped? And...
Changes from 24th April.
Wells: 17 PVR from 18 - one third of 126 over to Weston
Bath: 84 PVR from 88 - one less on 3, one less U5, one less X39, one less D2
Marlborough St: 34 PVR the same - 3 less on Y3/4/5/6, 1 more on X6, 2 more from X2. Doing 1 card on X7 with a single, so presumably...
Correct. I think First just basically said pay for euro6 upgrade or pay for new buses. I can't remember exactly, but I think the new ones will have a slightly bigger capacity
It's my understanding that the Wessex water enviros will be moved out of Bath, I don't yet know where. They are being replaced with two new buses. I know what these are, but not sure I'm allowed to reveal yet.
I believe there's a couple of euro6 mods to be done. I do question if 33731 has been done for euro6. The way to usually tell if it's been modified is the amber/red lights on the right of the driver next to the handbrake. All the Wells enviros/B9s have this.
32543-5 I believe are moving to...

66725 gone to fire brigade (will take a few years to burn the mould on that). 66726 I think sold elsewhere
1614765371
Having driven most of those that's quite a surprise they'll be open top. 32329 certainly seems a lot of internal improvements. Mechanically though they're...
Plenty of differences in the performance of all of them. They're a bit like Streetdecks - one day one is good, the next its awful. 33943 and 33945 generally the better ones that I've found. 950 was good when it first came to us, but last night it was dreadful. 947 good on hills, not so good...
37613-19, 23-26, 37338 are in purple for 3/4 so far - looks like there will be 15 of them in purple.
37757-70 I think will be done into sickly green. 37761/2 definitely done, which were done before lockdown. 37769/70 running in service at the moment, so they might be later on the list to do...
36233 is in Wells as like Splatt says 33833 had an incident where its overhang wing mirror didn't like the look of the door. 33831 also in Wells. Both on loan since a handful of Enviros being taken off the road. They're getting taken off the road either due to Euro6 upgrades (33659, 661, 662...
To quote the famous Wazoo saying - it had more rattles than mothercare
The thing that I find annoying is the panels are being done on n/s and o/s - it's all the panels at the front and cab which rattle to pieces
I think the PVR of the normal discover network is now 11, so the 12 ex airport B7s should be fine for this.
However saying this I'm led to believe that 66726 is staying where it is for the moment, so not sure if this will be upgraded for Euro6.
There are 8 59 plate B7s and 6 required for svc...
