Interesting little read this about a new initiative from First bus in Bristol. It appears from the Cityfox Facebook page that First have now teamed up with them to provide the below service (Rhys is pictured in the photo). This isn't mentioned in the article below, but Cityfox confirm on their...

Hi, Not sure whether this is the right area of RailUK to ask this (admins please move if not), but was wondering if anyone knows what the best way of getting from Taunton to Bishops Lydeard for the Spring Gala on Saturday? Would it be easier to try to get to Norton Fitzwarren? Any...

So as the admins are continuing to move my bus trips threads to trips and planning (and I don't look at any other the other parts of the forum apart from Buses and Coaches), I thought I'd create another thread (and will continue to do so) for any interesting bus trips that we endure. So I'll...

Gather around ladies and gents, it's that time of year again when Mr Harris announces his plans for an annual holiday. 2014 it was Snowdonia, Isle of Man and Isle of Wight. 2015 it was Cornwall and then Scotland. 2016 it was the Lake District. So this year where is it? Well its a bit of...

Can someone explain what the buses bill is and what the consequences will be for each of our areas and operators if it is approved? Will it affect the South West and Somerset? Might we see some reversals of cuts to bus services?

Just to try and get some fresh sense into the Cityfox discussion, thought I'd create a thread where we can discuss the bus business, rather than the taxi business so much. If Rhys/Phil or anyone else can confirm - what is the new night service they have planned and will there be any day...

Here's a good one... Why do the big companies use single decks for training and not deckers?

This is a thread for details of any adventures any of us go on and want to do a ramble on what happened on the trip. It should save a few long worded posts on some of the other threads. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I meant to post this about a week or so ago... Last Saturday...

I'm probably going to annoy quite a few people and get a fair bit of criticism from posting this thread, but I thought I'd post something that I came up with about a month ago or so. There's also a couple of amendments to what I originally came up with. This is an idea for the First (and a...

So Metrobus still hasnt got an operator and supposedly a new route will be starting in a few months - any ideas what route? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-37167430

In London at the mo and have noticed that Go Ahead seem to have a lot of old Tridents kicking around. These are 02-2004 plate vehicles. They also seem to have quite a few 2004 reg B7TLs. I thought in London they had to be newer and its still a bit surprising they would allow such old buses to...

I'm going up to Lake District next week for about a week and was wondering what buses should I try out. Any suggestions?

Just thought i'd post a little thread to try to clear some of the South West thread. why I hate Webberbus Well why do I hate Webberbus? 1. Their stupid non structures fare system 2. Their way in which they run most of their services to mirror the BoS services 3. Their ability to be...

Can anyone tell me some more info on the Falcon service by Stagecoach going from Bristol go Plymouth? Is it new? I saw one this morning and this evening going along the A38 in Bristol

Does anyone have an up to date fleet list for First Glasgow and First Edinburgh? If not do you know where I can find one?

So I'm now back in Bristol away from Scotland where I've been for the last couple of weeks. I visited Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk, Fort William, Glasgow and Ayr all in that time. Few thoughts & vehicle observations (First only):- Edinburgh: Who are Lothian Buses owned by? What's the transport...

Quick question... What happens to companies that don't meet the deadline for DDA compliance? I certainly can't see First and some of the small operators in the west meeting the deadlines. First still has well over 1,000 non compliant buses.

This is a new thread to discuss about operations in firsts Wells depot. This should then relieve the South West and Wales discussion from this. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Thought of a better idea of improving the 376 service. Have it interworked with the 377. It probably...

This is a new thread for anything relating to any of the smaller bus firms operating around the B&NES/Somerset/North Somerset area - Somerbus, Citistar, CT Coaches, Bugler, Webberbus, etc. Feel free to post anything about the bus services, etc, for these companies. --- old post above --- ---...
