I work in Emersons and whilst the m3 is ok in peak times, it's quite quiet outside of that. If the 18 (and then the 10) couldn't be sustained, not certain a 20 minute service could be.

A couple of very unusual allocations yesterday and today - 7XP e400 working the 5 in Bristol last night.... must say it didn't quite look right. Meanwhile 66724 out on Y5 this morning, so either on loan to LH, or perhaps a transfer.
Also had my first trip on one of Bath's new solos the other night, on the 19 between Parkway and Downend. Must say I really like this bus. Good performance, smooth, smart interior, comfortable, and pretty nippy. Some of my favourites now I reckon and I didn't expect to say that about a solo!

Must be the Uni holidays! Bath this morning: 32083 32636 on the 1, 32075 on 19, 32008 on 3 for the second day, 32009 on 4 and 32014 on U1.
Yesterday pink 32008 was confusing the elderly punters in Foxhill. Being used to E200s they weren't convinced they should be getting on a decker, let alone a pink thing but the driver was most reassuring!

That explains why there are bendis on Bath U1 today. So 32669 is actually in working order?
Rather has it overheated yet?

If it was already in Glastonbury it's a bit of inspired scheduling!Bristol Uni E400MMC 33491 which was seen parked in Taunton yesterday, is today deep in Stagecoach territory working shuttles for the concert at Powderham Castle.
The contract must be paying well to come all that distance.

On Thursday I noted Bath Uni's 33943/944/948/950 on Drop & Collect shuttles, so they didn't go to the station.
Two Bristol Uni E400's were on station runs, and 32669 was on Shepton Mallet GF2 turns
I spent a few hours in Bristol today. Of note was 37355 in the city centre with a smashed lower deck rear window while on service 43 and Tridents 33144 & 33158 on service 75. Two National Express West Midlands E400MMC’s on Glastonbury shuttles along with several Bristol Uni E400MMC’s. PN02 XCF of Chepstow Classic Bus also on Glastonbury work, wasn’t this on rail replacement work in Bristol last year?

That was 33498 in Taunton on Friday (I was the driver) - I took it down to Exeter late on Friday evening where we then stayed doing the Powerderham shuttles until 2330 on Sunday night.
I got back to Hengrove Depot at 0140, where the vehicle got fuelled up and went straight back out to Glastonbury with another driver.

Bath University services have to be single decks for the time being due to low trees in the temporary bus station within the campus.

Explains why a Streetlite was working it on Thursday at Green Park

It's a daily working. Duty comes off the 7 and operates the college duty just after 5 to Nailsea.
The Biomethane refuelling station for the M1 opens.

Interesting - cross referencing with FWoE, it hasn't worked there since Friday. A number of similar Solos have been released recently to South Wales but that proves nothing.
Wells Streetdecks playing up again, one day last week 8 were in service, currently only 4 conveniently in numerical order 35163-66.
32688, 37606, 37757, 37771 and 69445 all on 376. Had a run with 37757 from Glastonbury to Temple Cloud this afternoon, it flew up Pen Hill !! Don`t let Bath have it back..
32284 and 63076 on 172-174.

Does anyone know if 35167 is still broken down as it has not showed up on the tracker for months now and also on bus times on the incomplete fleet list does anyone know why 32349, 33952, 35167 and then whatever else is highlighted in black colour for.
