    Just thought I'd share these photos i got earlier today, of 69457, wearing it's new vynils, looking rather smart!

    The photo below shows YN69DTV, fleet number 39491, making a rare appearance on the 178 today. This had brand new voice announcements working, which was rather unexpected!

    It was swapped with 33832 for the 15:40 174 to Wells. Bath wanted it back asap

    Explains why the 37 seems to be 36822's main allocation then.

    An update on 10036: Just popped by depot, and she was getting work done, and so hopefully should have her leak fixed soon, and be back on the road soon!

    32285 WR03 YZU just passed me on the U5. Am I right in saying that she has only just returned?

    Routes 171 & 172 will be bookable from Friday 9th October, for weekdays only. Whilst this is a great idea, and will help people like myself who travel on both routes, at peak times, It doesn't solve the capacity issues at peak times. An extra bus or two at peak times is much needed currently!

    Unfortunately, W119 CWR 10036, suffered a Power steering fluid leak today. According to the very friendly recovery driver, it's nothing major, and should be patched up easily.

    Actually, 32007 wasn't too bad. No leaks, no damp smells 1601563459 Look what I've seen in Bath. SN62 AWA in Bath City livery

    Look what I've landed myself on, on route 172, 32007!

    Tracker also isn't currently picking up Bath routes U1, U3 and 171. The 171 of which is a damn right pain for me, it hasn't tracked since the route was introduced.

    Apparently the 62 plate "EnviroMMCs" (ex-Hybrids) are being repainted into Bath City. Both the B7RLEs and E400s will recieve plain Bath City, so they can be used universally. Also the B9TL Gemini 2s may be receiving it soon. Roughly 15 on the U1, including Barnes coaches, and 8 or so on the...

    Early 2000's. "W119 CWR" not that you would think so from it's condition!

    69457 in Bath City Livery W119 CWR 10036, is back in service. The oldest bus in First's service fleet now if I'm correct? 32994 has returned

    LK58 ECZ 39005 has returned! 32004 W804 PAE on the U5 Services 171 and 172, have been operating with only B7TLs today. Which is fantastic from my perspective! Also I did also see the B7LA on the dual carriageway, as stated above.

    Just spotted W119 CWR in Bath, on Driver Training.

    Indeed it was. It swapped with 47443, around 12 midday, however has recently just swapped back again. Annoyingly, 47443 was meant to be my bus this morning. I'm hoping they will at minimum, put doubles on the morning runs, having observed the chaos their decision has caused today.

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

    I find it rediculous how an hourly rural service has to sacrifice space, for every 15 minutes city services. I ended up travelling via Bath this morning, thanks to First's decision, as my bus was full before reaching Paulton. As for the smashed windows, that's an odd claim, considering I've...

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

    Indeed this has happened today, and I must say this decision is insanity! The 7:30 run to Bristol runs full from Farmborough, and I doubt I'll get on In Paulton now. Also reliability was a huge issue with the Streetlites, they did awfully on the 178. This is a very poor decision from First...
