Do we know how many new gas vehicles the installed infrastructure could support?

Only ever was 1 gas bus coming there was a bid for government money to fund about 25 buses but that fell through.
Ive just had a look at it in Lawrence Hill fleet number will be 39401 and seating is H39/31F it also has tables upstairs towards the back.
Trident 33378 in Buses of Somerset colours is at Camborne today.
Wonder why?

Are these for the A1 or U1?
If it was for the U1 I could understand
Hi Tom,
Most likely for the Park&Ride service for the big surfing competition that's taking place shortly at Fistral Beach, Newquay.
One of our Yeovil drivers told me he was taking a Decker down this week for the event and would be on the P&R for the event.

According to some photos on the Firstbus Enthusiasts Facebook group, ten 12-plate Geminis (from the Olympic batch) are heading to Swansea from Leeds. Apparently an equal number of Streetlites will be heading in the opposite direction.
Assuming this is true and not #fakenews , would these be the first double deckers at Swansea since about 2004ish (I think that's when the last of the C-FCY Olympians were withdrawn)
It'll also mean Cymru will have 14 deckers in their fleet. Any more and the space-time continuum might be disrupted. :P
The new orange Excel bus in Weston is 33829, the first of the 13 plate examples. This has been off for accident repairs and was intended to be the first one back on orange.There is another orange E400 in Weston. Couldn't see the fleet number as it is in the workshop. It is definatley 33412 or 33419 as they were both outside.

One of the Streetlites has now been branded for the 8. Interestingly, rather than featuring prominent advertising for GWR or Temple Meads, it is covered in animals advertising the zoo. Also stickers saying something about the quickest way to the shops i.e. Cabot Circus.
Of course, it was running on a 9!
Dual doors for the A1 would make sense too wouldn't it? It is also a service where departing passengers are concentrated on a few stops - Bristol Airport, Temple Meads, Bus Station.
Given how First have been using dual door vehicles, I'd tend to agree with you and that the A1 would be more likely. Similarly with the replacement of the 903 with the first Metrobus route. Could this be a floating spare as per 35150 that could fill in on the A1, Metrobus etc as I'd expect the A1 to have a livery in Airport house colours?
Dual doors for Bristol
To speed up dwell times, First Bristol is poised to take delivery of 24 long wheelbase dual entrance/exit buses.
Designed for the citys Metrobus rapid transit routes, they have Scania chassis with ADL Enviro400 bodies, built in Falkirk.
Their first deployments will be for the University of Bristol contract (Hengrove depot) and the UWE service (Lawrence Hill depot).

These are for Metrobus and UWE routes hence dual doors.
the Airport ones will be Enviro 400 City,s and are due around January.
