    It was at Twerton Park on the 17th May.

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    The new green coloured gas buses are out on the 73 today. Saw 39463/4/5/6/8, mostly while queueing patiently outside the Bradley Stoke Tesco.

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    Saw some of the new buses today. There was a 'First' livered (well the same as buses like 36824, which followed it shortly afterwards) gas bus working what seemed like an extra T1 this evening on Bradley Stoke Way. Also saw 2 red livered new double deckers heading south on the M5 (approaching...

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    It is 32280 today, which sort of makes sense as it's been on the 19/19A.

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    They are good buses on the climb out of Bath on the Lansdown P&R too. So ok they do change up a gear sometimes at completely the wrong moment, just as the next steep part of the hill kicks in and all momentum is then lost. However, once sorted to the correct gear they are quite powerful pulling...

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    Looking at the bustimes.org bus tracker, 35110 is for some reason currently running around as 69509. I was on 35110 yesterday, and can confirm 69509 is not providing a third deck.:D

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    Also in Bath today was 35147 on a 'Fed Cup Shuttle' between the Uni and the Lansdown P&R. Also joined by one of the 'white' coloured rental buses.

    Bristol Metrobus

    I don't think it's a big deal as only locals will use these stops. The M1 only stops at designated stops, whereas the T1 will probably stop at all stops, northbound that will mean both sides of the roundabout. I wouldn't say the northbound M1 stop is hidden away, after all it has an well lit bus...

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    It's still the previously reported e400s 39133/40 which have stayed. Along with 39005 the 3 have been working the Newbridge P&R this week, avoiding any hill work. The depot must have 'robbed Peter to pay Paul' as 32015 was on the Lansdown P&R. 32338 and 32636 have also been on the Lansdown P&R...

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    35111 (still branded for the 70/71) was in Bath on the Lansdown P&R today. Back in Bristol. In the new 'Bradley Stoke Journal' James Freeman says that 'they would like to hear people's views on the optimum route of the 73 between Aztec West and Parkway Station from January 2019'. Although...

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    I'm pretty sure 36815 was on the Lansdown P&R today, 36824 definately was. I did see 39005 on the Newbridge P&R for the first time in ages today. Can someone confirm why it went back to Wrightbus recently?

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    Think you have your P&R numbers mixed up. 36824 was back on the 31 Lansdown P&R today, I had a ride on it this morning, and it looked like it was still on it on the evening journey as well.

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    36824 was in Bath today on the Lansdown P&R. Replacing the M2 E400s (mostly 36801) which have been regularly filling in for one bus a day for the majority of January.

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    New grey and orange coloured E400 YT67XKA was on the 31- Lansdown P&R in Bath today. It had fleet number 36808 (although that doesn't seem to match the details on Steve White's website). Also saw 32015 on a U1, still displaying 'Coaster' details.

    Presumably 33665 is to be branded for the '50 Shades of Orange' route:D

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    Drove past 3 of them this morning, they were all stuck in the traffic between the M32 and the UWE. When I got to Broadmead saw another one on the 49. Didn't see any of them this evening, as 'DaveHarries' advised saw 66330 on the 48a and on the M32 saw 2x48a and an X48 but none of them were...

    Both electric buses were on the 72 yesterday evening, haven't seen that for some time.

    Ah the £3.50 single ticket.... At 8.00pm a single from the Centre to Bradley Stoke = £3.50 or At 8.00pm the First Night ticket, unlimited inner zone travel which includes 'Centre to Bradley Stoke' = £3.00 Guess what I was charged last week when I forgot my pass? A response on the Bradley...
