None of the Bath buss are in Lawrence Hill at the moment they all moved out a while ago.
Where did you hear this news if I may ask?Any views on the First Bristol decision to cancel the D3 Discover Bath to Melksham service?
Thanks. I've now seen a mention of it in the fortnightly 'Melksham News'The D3 route was mentioned yesterday by a Bath driver.
Full withdrawal??The D3 route was mentioned yesterday by a Bath driver.
Full withdrawal??
Bit of a change from April 2018 when they doubled it to half hourly in line with the big Discover relaunch.
So will that save 4 buses? Quite a knock for Westbury outstation though. I would suggest goodbye to the Scanias 65724/5/6 although 726 has already got a blown engine.Full withdrawal??

It's one of two for Bath Bus, JYO being the other.A new bus has appeared on the A4 route. Fleet number A514, same type as 511/510. WR69 JYP is the registration.
Wonder if A512/513 are abouts too.
Yep, last day is Sat 4th April - see here: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=22836.0
Another one bites the dust. That is disappointing, esp, as GW pointed out it was only two years ago it had its frequency increased. Sad times with Wiltshire services looking very like Somerset. Cant see anything replacing it unfortunately. So much has gone in the last few years.Yep, last day is Sat 4th April - see here: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=22836.0

How long before Faresaver decide to have a crack at part of the D1 and GoAhead the other part of it? And Westbury just closes all together?
Say First would to pull that part of the D1 who else would have it other than GA?Faresaver haven't shown any inclination to take on the D1 and, to be fair, they have now got quite a nice little business with the X31, X34 and now the X72 to themselves.
What makes you think that GA will want to have a go at the D1 (assume between Warminster and Salisbury)?
Updated today 29th Bradley.When did Steve White last updated his website because when I go on his website it says last updated 20th this of this month.
Makes sense, they haven't been tracked in a while!Looks like the clearout has begun. Steve telling us 30936 30945 and 33074 marked as for scrap and 33090 delicenced presumably withdrawn.
That’s a bit different from “having a crack” at it.Say First would to pull that part of the D1 who else would have it other than GA?
Suspect you have a cached version.Thanks Whiteway215 but when I went on it 10 minutes ago it said 20th January when I went on it.
No driver shortage but there can be bus shortages, today was fine but I know yesterday they struggled in the afternoon run out. It all depends how many buses maintenance take etc.Do any of our insiders know if there any particular vehicle or driver shortages at Lawrence Hill at the moment? Services to and from Kingswood seem much less reliable and more packed this week. I travel to Old Market from Kingswood at around 7am most days and on Tuesday morning there were no seats at all on the 43 when I boarded. Usually, there are tens!
