Oh no I fully agree the change of number isn’t necessary, I was just explaining why they will have changed it to 400, 401 etc. rather than to 6,6A. I feel a lot of this is due to pressure from the local council to serve Estuary View again after the withdrawal of the 4, so they thought there...

I don't *think* they are; the numbers 4 and 6 have been used for many years through. Indeed, before the Triangle route number was established the group was numbered 4, 4A, 6, 6A, 6X. I feel they have decided that they can't go back to that, as routes 4 existed in a different form up until (i...

The Canterbury changes are now online with all the new timetables, with details on the Stagecoach website (with a little over a week to go and big changes to the Triangle this does seem a bit late). Changes can be seen here Of course, the main change is the Triangle renumbered to...

The Triangle will be ceasing as a route number from 5th May, with services in the Canterbury area revised (known for a while now but the timetables have only just come up on bustimes). The Triangle will become services 400, 401, 600 & 601, each running every 30 mins (every 60 mins on Sundays)...

I was reading a few comments on Facebook about outstations for Brighton and Hove around Eastbourne and apparently a soon to be Ringmere. Does anyone have a list of the current Brighton and Hove outstations?

Go Ahead has today reported that they have acquired the Eastbourne Sightseeing Business. They say branding will be retained and the route integrated into the Brighton and Hove business. I believe that they have only purchased the Sightseeing and that Seven Sisters coach business will remain...

Yes all through the app now, with a discount code for the free year pass for all in halls. However to activate the ticket it needs to be ‘verified’ with a selfie to try to stop ticket sharing. I believe they *could* ask to see a student ID card as you board to check the selfie matches although...

Not quite sure how a bus in a new type of livery could annoy you? Would you be saying the same thing if a bus company were to paint a bus into a livery promoting The Royal British Legion or NHS for example?

I was going to raise this exact issue, what are the shift patterns at SPS? I’d imagine lots of split shifts with long days, similar to school bus work? However, no weekends I presume ?

Does anyone know the rough current pvrs of Bridgewater or Yeovil depots?

Stagecoach have published the details of the changes funded by the East Sussex bus service improvement plan which will take place from July 23rd along with timetable details. https://www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and-offers/south-east/bus-service-improvements-in-east-sussex

I mean you can't base your commercial network decisions on the fact that some stickers on the back of your bus say Audley :D

Yes exact same at East Kent today with drivers I known aren’t agency

The Kent County Council bus updates page has been updated for July, and (if what is on the page is not subject to change) KCC have decided to fund nothing of the under threat Folkestone services. This will lead to the complete withdrawal of routes 70, 73, 74& 75 leaving many areas completely...

I'm thinking your 3am journey on the A2 is a date entry error, with whoever submitted the timetable not joint 24 hours time - thus the bus should be departing at 1520 rather than 3:20.

Indeed, the 77/78 were withdrawn and replaced with a 1/2 hourly number 10 (with one per hour continuing to Cheriton and one per hour the full length Ashford). Then, the 70 came in a few months after when the 10 was diverted away from Horn St (replaced by now withdrawn 104) and the 17 was...

Kent online reports the following Stagecoach plans to close its Folkestone depot while considering the future of routes in the area. Link to article Also worth noting that the article confirms the services that Stagecoach are "in discussions with KCC" about. These are: -70 (Folkestone -...

I feel Old Romney will stay, as it has its own pool of drivers, plus Ashford has some work out of there for the 11. It would be logical for 102 to transfer to Dover, with the runs which start and end at Romney / Lydd / Rye to be run out of Old Romney - some buses do run dead down that way in...

Changes to some Maidstone area routes from July. Withdrawal of some minor town routes, but more headline news is the complete withdrawal of the 334 between Sheppy and Maidstone. Summary from Arriva below. Possibly the least professional service change announcement I've ever seen...

It's been said on twitter that 36899 will be transferred after repaint to Herne Bay along with 36064 from Bedford, although I assume these two vehicles will just join the singles pool at Herne Bay and not be specifically used on the 36.
