I think what people are asking for (expecting?) is some solid evidence of this

Done a quick analysis from the Bustimes.org fleet list and excluded training vehicles from the total vehicle count: Company Total Vehicles Electric vehicles % Electric Aberdeen 147 60 40.82% Aircoach 52 0.00% Bee Network - First Manchester 64 0.00% Berkshire & The Thames Valley 71...

Posting here as the First Eastern Counties thread is locked. Just trying to think about the logic behind the ex-Kernow B9TL's transferring here? To replace AU58 B9TL's? To replace Enviro 400 deckers to Essex? To replace StreetLites at Norwich to Ipswich to replace the AU58 B7RLE's?

Where has this figure come from? Any large group will move vehicles between depots as it needs to?

They look like they’ve been styled by driving them into a wall

I wonder if it’s a move to keep a certain Mr Horner away?

It suddenly feels like Mexico could be a huge race in the championship, another poor performance from Lando / Oscar and another strong one from Max and you would have to seriously start wondering if Max can snatch the title

I can see Lando / Oscar taking each other out of at least one race so I wouldn't rule it out at all

I wonder if we are seeing the "real" Oscar Piastri now, he seems to have developed the F1 driver whinger curse. I'm inclined to agree with several people's view now that if Lando / Oscar win the championship, it will one of the weakest drivers to win it for a long time.

It all just feels like a complete waste of money, nothing sustainable in any of the services, just burn it because it was there. The Ipswich Park & Ride seems to be suffering with lots of late running (frequently 20 minutes +, sometimes up to an hour) since the change of route.

I think it would be difficult given the layout of the outside parking unless gantries are used maybe?

That one confuses me, there are only 6 StreetDecks vs. 22 E400's (split across Great Yarmouth / Lowestoft). 6 StreetDecks doesn't fit into any of Great Yarmouth's PVR either: 1/1A = 8 2/3 = StreetLites 8 = 9 X1/X11 = 14 1758101346 It just doesn't seem to be a priority for them at all. I'm...

I’m sure the intention is that Eastern Counties will become an entirely Wright fleet hence the StreetLite / E300 swaps at Ipswich and StreetLites at Lowestoft to presumably replace E200’s

Any ideas why First Ipswich has stopped tracking? They had service changes today so not sure if that’s caused it

The map for the 800 is now on bustimes, it goes down Foxhall Road and up/down Back Hamlet in both directions!!

Absolutely agree with you, quite frankly it's an terrible waste of money. I'm at a loss to explain this, it feels from First's explanation that the 20 minute frequency was potentially under threat. Stowmarket is also expanding and a 40 minute frequency really isn't good enough. It'll be...

First increasing the 70 and 73 to hourly is bonkers, whenever I see them they are carrying nothing but fresh air! Feels like the Felixstowes and Stowmarkets are in decline, can see the Felixstowes going half hourly and Stowmarkets hourly in the future

That's a massive contract for IB to lose, I don't know exactly how many vehicles are involved but I believe it's a significant number. The service changes feel like "we've got some money so we'll just chuck it around". I actually fear for IB now, feels like a slow death could be incoming once...

Looks like FEC Ipswich have got even more Suffolk One routes from September: https://www.firstbus.co.uk/norfolk-suffolk/tickets/student-bus-travel/one-sixth-form-college I think the O6 is currently Chambers / Hedingham, I assume the O8, O11, and O12 are new routes?

I think they’ve realised if Verstappen goes, the car is that “bad” they will likely end up at the back of the grid so more important Verstappen stays
