@FirstBSA For the evidence of doubt Wessex has not agreed to accept any First Passes/Tickets
Wessex are doing well then.
Bit strange a collision happens outside two depots on two days in a row.
I really think Wessex should help. Its bad to say but it sound like all wessex is interested in is gaining a profit.
I've seen pictures of 48,48a and 49 branded buses on the 39. Are the airport buses the A1 flyer buses or the A4 Bath Bus Company deckers?
Wessex Bus has been slammed by Bath bus users after announcing the company would not accept First Bus tickets during the city's travel crisis this morning (January 12).
Rival company First Bus are currently experiencing severe cancellations and delays as 150 First buses are trapped in the Bath depot following a fatal accident on the Lower Bristol Road.
The A36 is closed in both directions, meaning the buses cannot leave the depot to carry out their service.
First Bus announced this morning that First tickets can be used on Wessex Bus services.
However, Wessex has since denied this, saying: "For the evidence of doubt Wessex has not agreed to accept any First Passes/Tickets".
Who are Bridgwater coaches they were covering the 37 and 41 with tri axel neoplans
I noticed a portway park and ride decker and a Weston enviro 400 parked in Bath I also gather a mendip explorer B7 was on the 19A
Somerbus covered the 6A as well... https://www.flickr.com/photos/27295...Q13-Jm6Ri5-Qnjxxp-Pg3btQ-QrmdXW-QoQ3w6-P8ugjX
Not heard of Bridgwater Coaches? Neoplan Tourliners I assume or the big Starliner?
two big neoplans i'd guess tourliners
Well done them. Well done also to all the other operators and their drivers who helped out: good to see bus operators helping each other out in a time of need. RIP to the deceased from the accident which prevented access to the depot though.Most of the routes were free as many of the coaches that first drafted in did not have ticket machines.
Wessex's official line was no acceptance. From many comments on social media the drivers defied hq and accepted-possible instruction from local management unofficially ignoring Hq.
Is YN54 AEV in Somerbus livery?
Are these all still in express yourself livery?69223 out on 29 (to Taunton)

I can guarantee that two of the previous generation wont as, having given up all the M4 motorway work this week, this morning they were off up the M5. (To Yorkshire according to Steev White). No need for months of storage at Muller Road for replaced deckers at the moment!
The bad luck for first continues. No bus that requires adblue is allowed out of LH today.
32688 is still with FS&A as a spare for the Severn Express; it was on the 13:15 Cribbs Causeway to Bristol (12:15 ex Newport) yesterday.
