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

    I might be mistaken but wasn’t it said on here that the LK55 Solars have moved out of Bath? If so, 65725 is tracking on the 5 today. Did anyone see what this actually was when it did the D1 yesterday? I’ll pop out in about an hour or so to catch (a picture of) it anyway. But would be interesting...

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

    Hm, smell on that Wednesday (or Thursday) morning in January was closer to the aftermath after a night out.....! Seems it varies with the times... I think 33828 was on the X1 behind me and I remember slightly regretting not letting FUD go in favour of MYL

    Great catch! Good they're being put to use somewhere on the network rather than being SORNed or just misc. use on Bath city / P&R routes!

    When I voyaged to Weston on the X1 on the 715 from Bristol back in January, I was pleased to have caught a 2006 E400, 33412. But yes, the colour scheme inside is pretty toxic, let alone the smell in there. Hope the reek was a one off from not having been properly cleaned overnight, because...

    Wonder if the Weston loaned drivers doing evening U1s in Bath will get to return nice and early to Weston! Need to see a timetable for this reduced U1/U2/U3 service in Bath ASAP - many students will still remain as they're not kicking anyone out of the halls of residence. Library, Sports...

    And 008 ;) Caught 357 down from campus today - was a real treat. Different to every other B9 in Bath, albeit marginally different to 358. Sounds and rides very well.

    The newly painted 36801-805 and 36821 are back off to Bristol? Is this confirmed or rumour Edit - do you mean the 37757-767 fleet?

    Well today saw all six of the working purple UniBus B7LAs in operation at some point on the U1 or U3 - 10036, 10175-179! 176 returned from the dead (probably at the back of the depot, tucked away), 175 had its second day out in a row after a long VOR period too (although it barely survived into...

    Damage caused to 33948 on the Bath Campus this morning, just before midday. I think it pulled up behind an artic already on the stand way too early (and sharply), and came into contact with the central island's kerb. 33840 has since replaced it on that board. Picture here. It joins 944 in the...

    Here's 36801 this morning, first run of the day this morning on the 0734 U3, in its new colours. (I wish its blinds were saying the truth!!)

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

    General question to anyone with some intel on the matter: I note there used to exist a bus link from Wells to Frome. First operated the 161. I take it this was axed? Saw a picture of one of the 694** RLEs operating it, so can't have been all that long ago? Anything been put in place to replace...
