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

    I reckon the panel on 946 is what used to be on 948 post-turning circle blunder back in early 2020. Same shade as the replacement panel, which made 948 stand out from the lot. Guess the MMCs might be in for a patching up paint job just before the next academic year begins in September. No point...

    I must've missed something, but the WSM - Wells 126 can take deckers now?!? How so? Or has this always been the case?

    Taxis will make a killing 1600340652 Unbelievable- she lives on!! Hopefully will stick around for ice/snow ridden Bathwick Hill climbs 1600340725 Would be great if the B9s from faresaver return too. They’re bullets on the hill both up and down....

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

    I've been largely dormant on this forum, but from what I hear, these plans are just unbelievable... First's incessant meddling for the last four years with the university routes is just a curse for the community - both students and (elderly in particular) locals. They will get a timetable and...

    Trips on LNER Class 91s

    Oh dear.... although they rarely do, my eyes deceived me on this occasion. The DVT was the one in the shed and was the first one I spotted.... ..... the 91 loco was the one on the tracks between the ML and the Shed. Good to have seen one, one last time. The only sets of 91+Mk4s I've caught in...

    LNER Class 91/Mk4 service status/withdrawals/2021 refurbishment

    Spotted 91121 and 82221 (on separate train sets) at the Bounds Green depot, the latter peaking out from the shed.

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

    Back in June, I saw 715, 721, 722 and 753 for certain all in service on the 3/4/19 routes.

    Not to my recollection - but I would personally give the last word on this to Tommy, who probably remembers better than I do...!

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

    36232 and 233 seen on the city routes throughout lockdown seemed absolutely fine (some rocketing on the 1), as well as pre-lockdown when tackling Bathwick Hill on the U1/U3 routes - hoping these issues are the only ones they've had down at Wells? The SN14 E400s I'm shocked to hear are being so...

    37403 on this eve’s 2005 route 1 in Bath ! The B9s are back to City Centre! With 69445 ahead and 69443 behind. Odd they’re not using the bus station at all today?? See also attached 33949 on the eerily quiet Bath Uni campus.

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

    Went past the Bath depot for the first time (ever!), and spotted three E400s in normal first livery all near the entrance to the garage. 33677, 33721 and 33833. Haven’t kept up with this thread too well, but I’m supposing that was already common knowledge. 37388 was surprisingly positioned...

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

    I like it! :D Think the whole livery is pretty smart. Are 37771 and 772 staying at Wells or is there speculation (or confirmation) that they'll be on their way out?

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

    Highly suspicious.... does that mean that on its return to Bath Spa, it will only do LBR and U5 will take UBR?

    69445 is on the 5, tracking as 33831. no mendip vinyls on front, RHS or rear. didn't see the LHS

    more Wrecks incoming....

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

    Oh! I based that off the First logo and First name seeming to have been removed from the rear window :) my mistake!
  17. lx12ddo

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

    a functioning rear display and any first logos have both gone along with it.... ;) although not sure if the rear display has worked for a long time anyway

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

    I mean half those SN58s would probably have been ex-Dagenham / Northumberland Park when First were in London, e.g. SN58CGV seen here on the 252. Although they're all labelled ex-Leicester 2015, they have history before that too :)

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

    69443 on the 5 too... seems a permanent allocation
