I believe the hydrogen Streetdecks are at least partially funded by Aberdeen city council, this is the first i'm hearing of new single deckers due in Aberdeen (admittedly I don't follow it too closely) but I wouldn't be surprised if they're also council-funded at least in part.

Oh fantastic, thanks!

https://partimespotter.wordpress.com/diagrams/class-455-diagrams-sn-only/ i'm using this. Bear in mind these are for weekdays, the services listed still operate to my knowledge but some are operated by 377s.

to my knowledge no 455s are regularly scheduled to go to Dorking anymore, judging by a look at the scheduled diagrams.

will the Epsom Downs service be operated by 455s this coming bank holiday Monday? Planning a trip to get some mileage on them before they're retired so it'd be appreciated if I could know in advance whether they actually operate this service or not on weekend service patterns.

Yeah, I mean it's 25 years old this year, it wouldn't be abnormal if it developed a fault that wasn't economically viable to repair. Plus DW21HAM (their new Enviro E200MMC) could potentially be a direct replacement as I don't think any other single deckers have been taken out of use.

OSJ1X was new in 2000. 1650913755 is S303JUA still in service? no longer shows up on bus times and hasn't been photographed on flickr for (if I remember correctly) about 18 months.

360102 has been in EMR livery since May 2021. Not sure why it was away but definitely not for repaint.

Agreed.

the firstbus enthusiasts facebook group suggests it's changed to 32585, 32598-32604 and 37184, although of course I don't want to contradict information from someone who works for FSW (although worth pointing out the guy who posted this information works for First Glasgow)...

Quick correction but 33906 is a regular E400, not a Scania.

Ah right, thanks.

Any evidence for this?

they've only just arrived, they probably won't be entering service for at least a week or two.

So it is! My mistake, misremembered.

I know there's some sort of vehicle transfer going on there, can't quite remember what it is but it'll probably transfer then yeah.

32766 is still in daily service with First Hants and Dorset so not sure when or if that's transferring.

thanks! forgot about the 479 but wasn't properly aware of the rest of them.

the Sunday service on the 17 is now theoretically run by Sussex Coaches, although it's been suspended since April 2020 due to COVID-19, they're apparently hoping to resume it sometime in 2022. Another example in the south east is the 32 (Guildford-Redhill). Operated by Compass Bus Mon-Sat but...
