It’s been a one bus operation since it was chopped back from Writhlington. It’s usually operated by e200 though Solos do deputise very occasionally.

Quoted on the Glasgow thread. Nine buses coming south, nine going north to Livingston and nine from there to Glasgow.

Steve White telling us three Tridents have come from Essex and another three expected. I would assume these are for QBusting?

Seen both 47445/50 on the 24 on Thursday. Did wonder if it was for the last time?

Steve reporting more ex Scottish B7TL arriving. Looks like it’s 32619-25, 32670/7/81/3, 37181-3/5 so far.
Would be interesting to look at a fleetlist from 2013 and check out how many deckers were in the fleet compared with now.

Bustracker reports bridge strike 30871 on 31 today??? Unless its ticket machine has been put into another bus and not altered.
Also showing 10167 on 31 !!!
32216 was shown as on 1049 173 from Wells. I couldn`t get to that but did 1149 173 32286 to Radstock to see 1220 172 from Bath. This was 32343, so don`t know if 32216 was swapped in Bath or it was another bus times.org fantasy.

More mad ones are 39005 operating the 179....
Don't believe everything you see on bus times peeps!
Anything that starts with a 1, or a 30, 31, early 32s etc... is at the top of the list when you change fleet numbers so more liable to end up misallocated.
Then there's machines that come off buses and get put onto new buses and someone forgets to change the fleet number over (so basically any member of the fleet can go rogue). 30871 definitely hasn't been on the 31 today.

Passed 4x Gemini’s heading out of Manchester this afternoon on the M56, presumably heading for Bristol. One was 37181, not sure about the others
As far as I know none of the Olive Grove B7TLs have come to FWoE from FSY only York ones. Unless someone knows different?

According to my April 2013 Steve White Fleetlist there were 236 deckers. That number included 8 Olympians at TN and 3 at Bridgwater. Also included in that total were 14 unlicencecd 32027 32329-31/3/5/6/9-45)

Good work that man!
So 211 then. Damn sight more now. Of those delicensed, 32027 would’ve been damaged after it’s Fishponds Road incident whilst the others would’ve been getting refurbished ex London

A very trusted and informed source on South Yorkshire Transport Forum confirms 32216 is still at Olive Grove so goodness knows what the fictional FWE '32216' is.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Looking at the timetable, I would think the PVR is 11.
Plus a single decker on the 24A.
