I guess you could look at Bustimes for Colchester. Looks to be Enviro 200/200MMC and VDLs

There were several of VDL DB300 Wright Gemini 2 buses based at Colchester but those have all left recently. In summary, not many buses are based there and almost all of the buses are unwanted hands down buses from other depots.

I think last time I went to Colchester Arriva had ECW Atlanteans and Volvo Citybus. But I do remember getting off a train to take a picture of the First Gemini in Eastern National green and yellow livery

It will be interesting to see if the CMA allow the acquisition and what may happen if they don't.

A Barnstaple style situation would be likely?

 

[Trainman40083]

Are Go Ahead still in that area? Can't remember what happened to the likes of the former Hedingham operation.

 

[Cesarcollie]

A Barnstaple style situation would be likely?

Exactly. Arriva would inevitably just close down and have to incur the redundancy costs.

 

[Lynford1976]

A Barnstaple style situation would be likely?

Agreed!
