    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    So do I take it that (to misquote Eric Morcambe) FK are withdrawing the right buses but not necessarily in the right order?

    Trivia: Largest towns/cities not to have regular double decker operations

    Hereford sees Stagecoach deckers on the X3 from Cardiff most days since Cwmbran got its Enviro 400s and I think they still work up from Ross on Wye.

    Trivia: High altitude bus routes

    Sorry but if a T6 gets anywhere near the A4059 it's lost or it's on a fairly hefty diversion. It uses the A4067 from Sennybridge.

    Progress of delivery of cascaded/refurbished/PRM modified stock to TFW/Wales and Borders

    I think most people will be happy with a bizarre mixture of formations if it means a better chance of getting a seat. It's not exactply uniform now with a mix of 150/153/158/175s in use.

    TrawsCambria / TrawsCymru

    West Country Independents

    I don't think any suggestion that the East Lancs Tridents would be leaving the fleet was made. If I read it correctly it was talking about the two Lizard liveried Tridents being used on the new Lizard network.
