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

    It’s dire out there in Bristol. I don’t expect this Saturday service to last the whole week...

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

    On Thursday first west of England only carried 100,005 customers, 60% down from this time last year. This is going to be a very testing time for the company but luckily this 80% promise from the government should mean we all keep our jobs.

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

    It’s not been made public yet but apparently from Monday the 23rd first west of England will be running a Saturday service due to the decrease in demand.

    On the running card it states “BC” for Bristol city council.

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

    That’s a huge increase in frequency for the 2/2a! That’ll really help with centre to stockwood in rush hour and this section is very very busy.

    Ah yes you’re right. I’m still surprised these aren’t going on the Y2 which is far busier than the Y1...

    Was just about to post the new brand name for the x39. It looks horrible and a horrible name. Someone gets paid to think up crap like that ‍♀️

    The 2a is starting after the next change so I assume that’s the route change is talks of.

    Before the cut the 71 on evenings and sundays the 71/3 used to be about 2 mins apart. No wonder no one used the 71 as it was always just behind the 73!

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

    I’d imagine they’d be send for scrap. Some of them have done over a million miles, so they deserve to be put out of there misery.
