    East Anglia Bus Scene

    I wonder if Arriva are trying to secure funding for the service from Essex County Council or Stansted Airport for continuation of the service? The X20 must've taken a lot of the Braintree<>Stansted Airport custom but the 133 provides the local links. Shame to see Arriva retreat from another part...

    First Essex

    I think we should also look at how patronage is on the First routes which they are trying to compete with Arriva on? I also assume the S5 is being introduced as First have lost a few Essex County Council tenders in Colchester area from 28/7/24, routes 4,11 174/175 spring to mind although they...

    Arriva to close Aylesbury and High Wycombe depots

    As an Arriva employee, the deal with Isquared is nearing completion so I am told. At this stage, Arriva is still owned by DB.

    First Essex

    First Essex

    Feels like First are trying to put the squeeze on Arriva who operate the 133 from Braintree to Stansted Airport with certain projections to Colchester (numbered 132) early and late.

    Chiltern - why no Aylesbury to Marylebone (via Amersham) service on Friday?

    It maybe something to do with the London Underground strike happening this Friday.

    Arriva Buses (including Greenline)

    Isn't Hemel Hempstead part of Arriva Southern Counties and the others part of Arriva The Shires/Midlands. May explain why they are not listed as going on strike.
