    Trivia: industrial estates with 7 day frequent and evening services

    Not strictly an industrial estate as such, but the BMW car factory in Cowley is linked to Oxford city centre by Oxford Bus Company's 11X on a 10 minute frequency for much of the day, 7 days a week. https://www.oxfordbus.co.uk/services/OXBC/11X

    Working the Bournemouth Coaster service today are open top Trident W501 RBB and roofed Volvo B9TL GX09 ZZW, the latter a former Yellow Buses vehicle and still in yellow, though both vehicles are smartly route branded for the service.

    Van Hool Astromega TDX29

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    37791 is a further open topper to receive branding on its base livery. https://www.flickr.com/photos/127662272@N07/52819158404/in/dateposted/ By my calculation, that leaves 33601 (? could this be for Falmouth, unless 32179 is staying); 37789, 37793 (Land's End Coaster); 37736, 37737,37747...

    London sightseeing tour bus operators and routes

    The licence application for Topview London Ltd. appeared in N&P on 23/1/23, but as of today (according to the VOSA website) , it's status remains 'under consideration'. https://www.vehicle-operator-licensing.service.gov.uk/view-details/licence/598338 I imagine they would have hoped to be...

    Transpora Group

    Many thanks, Rhys. What happened to P534 EFL, please? It appeared to be a smart motor, though step entrance, of course.

    Transpora Group

    Can anyone please confirm whether Transpora Group still have the following open toppers: P534EFL, V145MEV, V158MEV, V362OWC? All were previously used at either Blackpool or Manchester, but do not appear to have been seen (in use) for some considerable time and are currently showing as SORN. Are...
