I'm surprised it's that soon (as the 6/7 only went over last week) however perhaps it'll just be one of the services. Quite a few Lynx still out at Avonmouth however one of the green ones has also arrived now.

The info re LYNKes was given to me by a member of SG Council who had seen an email with that date included. 9 vehicles would allow a launch and spare gas vehicles have been allocated to the T1/Y1 with 2 such buses on the T1 when I looked earlier this morning and 39449 on the Y1 all day yesterday finishing with a Y2 turn.

From the VOSA Bus Service Registrations for today, 11-Mar-2020, comes this:
PH0000132/329 Registered
FIRST WEST OF ENGLAND LIMITED
Route: Stockwood/ Broomhill to Cribbs Causeway Bus Station via Bristol city centre
Service number: 1 (2)
Service type: Normal Stopping
Effective date: 05 Apr 2020
If turned into a CSV file, which gives more information, it says that this is for route and timetable changes. A similar registration has appeared for Service 3 (Worle Sainsburys - Searle Crescent) in Weston-s-Mare, alongside other Weston routes 1, 5, 7 & 126, also for route and timetable changes, effective from the same date.

I am thinking the Weston changes must be something minor in the Centre of Weston.

Are 37347/57 only loans or permanent transfers? There are plenty of vintage deckers in Bath that need replacing! Sadly!

I'd have thought loans, due to the shocking reliability of the uni fleet (33950 in strife once again this evening)! 357 was also still carrying both its Bristol Fleetnames & a full size rear ad for a retirement home in Fishponds!

The earlier spring sunshine brought out Coaster open top 32002 on service 1 (not on Bus Times).
37338 joined by 37341 on loan (?) for Excel routes at Weston depot.
Forthcoming changes at Weston will be due to closure of part of Alexandra Parade for road works to provide bus stops for all services by TESCO, although may also include half hourly on 1 and Sunday service on 126 for the summer.

32002 was probably out today due to a shortage of buses, thats why 37341 was collected and then used on the X1.
The Weston changes are in part down to reroutings around Alexandra Parade and minor timetable changes to the 3s and 7s in particular based on driver feedback following the January changes.
There is at least 5 fully branded at Lawrence Hill parked in a line. Earlier when passing there only seemed to be 1/2 parked in Avonmouth.
37341 was on X1X earlier, full to the brim by the looks of it
One of the new purple buses 376xx was on a 3/4 this morning, no logos yet.

I notice it states "service number: 1 (2)". With the 2 in brackets for some reason. Does this mean it's only the 2 that is changing? But then again it states Broomhill and 1 as well. So it's a bit ambiguous. Wish they'd hurry up and publish in details what the changes are, as it's now only just over 3 weeks to go till the changes. Usually by now all the new timetables are usually posted on TravelineSW.
The 2a is starting after the next change so I assume that’s the route change is talks of.

does it actually show anything different? When they first appeared a few weeks ago they were showing the same still!

Yeah last week and this week (That's over 2 weeks!)
18th of March according to our latest newsletter.
It is hard to work out as they will interwork with the X1 and X1x.

So the new 2A times are up on Traveline.
Quite impressive improvements to the frequency of that and the 2 (unless you want to go to Cribbs...)...
- Peaks - the existing 2 every 12 minutes becomes every 7-8 mins, alternating between a 2 and a 2A.
- Off Peaks - the existing 2 every 15 mins becomes every 10 mins, alternating between a 2 and a 2A.
- All evenings - the existing 2 every 30 mins becomes every 15 mins, alternating between a 2 and a 2A.
- Sunday daytime - the existing 2 every 20 mins becomes every 15 minutes, alternating between a 2 and a 2A.

Pretty sure it's just that the 1 and the 2 come under the same registration.
