The cold store was removed over covid to save on costs - the lease on it was ancient and apparently a very costly/poor lease, so they reduced the pvr, parked the buses differently in the depot and saved on a lease along with 4 hours for 2 drivers to shunt each day. I believe they've been in...

Appreciate that, but what sort of bus are you planning to replace it with?

I heard they were getting replaced - with minibuses?

Oh I completely agree. Certainly the sort of thing I would do, but the point I'm clarifying is there are actual job losses in Somerset, not many I'm sure, but in South West there aren't. If WoE had that sort of system, I'd more than happily welcome it. Plus I'd happily go to Cornwall on loan anytime

From what I've been told Yeovil have 3 drivers going to Cornwall, since 5 less duties. So whilst no job losses in First South West, there's technically job losses in buses of Somerset

So from what I can tell from Traveline, these are the changes: 1 increase to every 20 mins, 2 PVR, single 2 decrease to every 60 mins, interwork with 4, 1 PVR, single 3 withdrawn 4 decrease to every 60 mins, route change, interwork with 2, single 6 timetable change, interworks with 7, PVR 2...

Apologies it is 4. Didn't realise it's currently every 20 mins

Will it be operated by them under the new tender though?

That's interesting with the town services. Depends on who has 68 and how that changes. Yeovil town is 6 I think at the mo, but will basically see off the remaining darts 1652979879 Also interesting to note how 54 and 55 will work - one starts off in Yeovil then finishes in Taunton and the other...

Blimey. That's a long day

I see the timetables have now come up 1652963049 So 77 hourly and college run scrapped. 55 college run, presumably replacing 55C. 54 Taunton-Somerton hourly, like CD says first and last run go to/from Yeovil, presumably for college workings - do we reckon Yeovil or Taunton will run this. 29 and...

The timetables on Traveline appear to show: 1 - increased to 20 mins. 2 - decreased to hourly. 4 - decreased to hourly. Town services I think reduce PVR by 2 21/A - college runs removed. 22 - Tiverton scrapped? 14/15 - terminates at bus station. Anyone able to confirm if Tiverton scrapped? And...

Weston have two cards on X7, so will need Streetlites for that. A decker is moving from Wells to Weston for 126

Changes from 24th April. Wells: 17 PVR from 18 - one third of 126 over to Weston Bath: 84 PVR from 88 - one less on 3, one less U5, one less X39, one less D2 Marlborough St: 34 PVR the same - 3 less on Y3/4/5/6, 1 more on X6, 2 more from X2. Doing 1 card on X7 with a single, so presumably...
