Of course TrowVegas was a depot (TE) in its own right for some years from 1 January 1970 when Bristol Omnibus Co took over the area's services from Western National. The depot and adjacent bus station closed 10 April 1983.
Wow, a fair few. And I understand there were two in Radstock; one for Bath, one for Bristol. (Guess they didn't want to share). Also not quite the same, but until about 2011, a Taunton bus used to be outstationed at Wells depot, and more recently a Wells bus was outstationed at Yeovil.
There was one in the Yate/Chipping Sodbury area for many years however it tended to wander around and closed at least once because of vandalism.
The two Radstock ones were a bit odd. One was a couple of minilink Transits that were nominally allocated to MH - not certain where they parked.
The routes you have quoted sound about right. The 6/7, 17 and 42-45 have a PVR of around 40, whilst the 48/49 have a PVR of around 20. This leaves some spares for other routes (the PVRs I quote are slight estimates)
Seems to be an ongoing problem these Wells Streetdecks being off. So Bath have to loan deckers and as EnviroExplorer suggests with new buses not imminent the B7TLs could last a bit longer. Perhaps even the likes of 30875 32008 and 32669 might have their engines repaired.
Well there are still the 100+ buses that are to be re engined so.
, mind you didn't stop me munching Mr Abrahams finest produce!!
Which is wrong!
Evening Post in false reporting shock. In other news Pope accused of being catholic.
First are saying they're operating it every hour and that's what the timetable on Traveline says (however that's already on version 2 with 4 weeks till to go).
