And registrations have gone through for the former Wessex services that are being taken over.

Im fairly sure the 432 never actually stopped in the end.

But there are a number of closed services, e.g. the 459/460 to Winterbourne Academy, whose website has the new timetable with SGBC.

Yeah, I think it's being taken over when Stagecoach can interwork them with other services.

Since the involvement of SGBC the direct service between London and Cardiff has been significantly reduced, Newport services cut even more, and diversions from route near Bristol for a driver change are a regular occurrence. However Bristol has more Megabus services than ever as well as the Falcon. There now seem to be few drivers from Cwmbran insofar as can be gleaned from the on board announcements
Who would Stagecoach get to take the left hand drive fleet if it was in house again?

Can't Stagecoach drivers use them ? - they have done in the past (on UK domestic runs)
I'm sure they CAN, however there didn't appear to be any enthusiasm for using the left hand drive coaches when they became spare whereas South Glos is now drowning in them!

Please excuse my ignorance but is there a link between the left hand drive coaches and the mainly non-UK drivers employed on the London to South Wales Megabus routes ?
Insofar as good driving may be judged by the least amount of sharp braking I have noticed very smooth journeys recently. We had a Portugese (he proudly announced it!) driver a couple of weeks ago who was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Came upstairs and spoke to everyone before setting off from Cardiff and again to say goodbye when another driver took over. Never had that before.

Looks like the 3A will go to First and not Stagecoach

On the First thread, THarris123 posted...
3B/C/X Bristol - Aztec West - Change of operator from Wessex to Stagecoach. Introduction of service 3B (Stoke Gifford to Aztec West) providing afternoon peak trips to Aztec West and morning peak trips from Aztec West.
I'm unclear on what the changes are to the 3B as it already does complete circuits AM peak Aztec - Bradley Stoke - BPW - Stoke Lodge - Aztec, and reverse in the PM peak.

The only change is that Stagecoach will now run the 3B.

Wrong! There are a few very minor timing changes in Little Stoke too!
