They are being used on the Scanias on the A1 at the airport and Temple Meads.Are both sets of doors being used on the newest Enviros?
It's a busy time at Cribbs anyway this time of year, as evidenced by the number of cars there.The 1,2,3 and 4's are now much busier from Cribbs now the 76 has gone. This is my final post on this topic but I don't think the withdrawal of the 76 is anyway down to "lack of use".
I think it was because of:
A) Works at Cribbs Causeway.
B) The need to cut down on buses.
C) It was a service that was duplicated and could be cut.

First were:I don’t anyone was arguing lack of use? Just that it was duplicating other routes (very little was unique to the 76) and in the era of saving costs, it was a logical cut.
First were:
"The curtailed route of Service 76 reflects low customer demand for the section of route between Henbury and Cribbs Causeway, duplication of other services and will also help to improve reliability and punctuality."
I see that Cribbs stops E and F are closed. Presumably Metrobus work, but will they become 1 or 2 stops, thinking how long Metrobus stops are...
The 2 is moved to D, and the 1 to A, although there is no evidence of this on the revised stops themselves.
According to the display just inside the mall, the 2 is moved to G, and a timetable for the 2 has been put up in that shelter. The 2s were using G yesterday.First were:

From what I gather the Metrobus stop was suppose to be inplace of stop A and B at Cribbs. But the stops needed an upgrade anyway.According to website that's correct
The bus stops for services 1 and 2 at Cribbs Causeway Bus Station will be closed from Tuesday 2nd January for approximately six weeks.
This closure is required in order to carry out MetroBus works.
Whilst these stops are closed service 1 will use bus stop A and service 2 will use bus stop G.

I believe the 171 will be saved but not by first and it may not be a 171 it might be a 175
No but could be something to keep the enthusiasts happy.......I believe the 171 will be saved but not by first and it may not be a 171 it might be a 175

I look forward to seeing what peasedowns coach operator use
According to my records LH/MH have 13 B7RLEs left. I think 2 for the 46, 5 for the 78/79, 2 for the 82 and 3 for the 177/178 so only just enough. May be that's why I've seen a few DDs on the 46 lately.
It's the X46 that is always DD operated and interworks with the X49.
It doesn't as far as I know.What does the 46 interwork with now as the timetable is for 2 hrs 1 minute on a hourly frequency?
37331 now has a lilac front the same as the spare Streetdeck and Scania E400s
Hi,
Ex Weymouth 32045 was on Taunton Depot today parked in corner of the yard.
No idea why it's here so rather surprised to see it.
Cheers, Mike R
It doesn't as far as I know.
Last I heard was that due to Metrobus roadworks and the diversion at Hambrook the journey time was lengthened temporarily. It was previously around 50 mins. If the incoming journey doesn't arrive at MH for the xx35 departure time (previously it was xx45) then another vehicle would be used. The incoming vehicle then acts as a spare for the next departure. I certainly saw this happening last autumn. (Ah, it looks like the timetable has changed again - but I'm sure you get what I mean.)
May be spw24 can confirm if this is still the case or if another solution has been found.
Thanks for confirming.3 buses are used on the 46 they all park up for about an hour at different times of the day
