Ah right, many thanks! I wonder whether a heritage livery might be on the cards. A date for the diary none-the-less.

Where did you hear about this too if you dont mind me asking?

Surely no operator in their right mind would employ him for anything after all this Foxstar debacle!

Agreed. I think beachball holds up quite well when applied right. It may have become a bit inconsistent in recent years but its recognisable. These new designs fail by a pretty mile. I'd have liked to see either a more classic livery design or a revamped beachball.

They look really horrible, cheap and nasty if you ask me. Doesn't seem to be clear from the images whether it would be different colours for different division or not. A metallic blue would suit Megabus but these really are poor.

Yes, most of the money for them came from Powys Council. They'll start to be delivered in June, bodies are being shipped from Egypt.

The 3 Optare Solo's are due imminently for Brecon for Traws Cymru Connect, the 12 Metrocities and 4 Solo electrics will be for Caerphilly and the 12 MCV will be Evora's for the TrawsCymru network.

Indeed 120/130 not making enough of a profit to keep them GOLD. Full rollout of Gold 26 and 151 tomorrow morning.

Does anyone know which of the SRs from Carlisle way will be transferring down to S Wales in the near future?

Apparently the Cardiff Facebook page has now been taken down too...

26 is definitely going Gold too, I've seen the notice.

My understanding is that the 151 E200's and the E300's off the 26 will go to Porth. Seems the 11 are going down to Caerphilly aswell.

The buses used on Sundays interwork with other routes.

Indeed, they will be used on the 26 and the 151 as of the 12th May, not including Sundays.

The 120/130 buses are going to Blackwood. The upgrade of the 120/130 failed to increase passenger numbers.

I've been told the 120/130 is not making enough money as a return on investment in the MMC's originally. They are transferring elsewhere locally in exchange for other vehicles.

Has anyone heard anything about what the new identity might be like and when it might actually come about?

Where exactly has his various activities been since he first started in this field then? I'm aware of the Taxis in Bristol (there was talk in the last few weeks of buying a taxi firm in Cwmbran), his Rail Replacement with First and obviously the latest Newport venture.

It'll be interesting to see what becomes of the two Enviro 400 MMC's that were supposedly ordered (for a contract if I remember rightly).

Surely the shelters and timetable case would be the property of the council, who I doubt would be all that bothered.
