White Yutong coaches in the Bridgwater area

[cambsy]

Whilst driving in the Bridgwater area on delivery driver jobs, at approximately 4am I have noticed a load of white unbranded Yutong coaches, operating various services. From what could read on their pretty awful destination blinds, it mentioned something about secure etc. So who operates them and where are they operating to? Are they workers coaches to a Distribution centre or Warehouse etc? Can the public use them? Thanks for any info; I was just curious about them.

I think they are operated by Somerset Passenger Solutions on Park & Ride for staff that work at the Hinkley Point nuclear power station construction site. So not available to the public, even trying to access the timetable requires a password and username. More info here :

The civil nuclear industry generally tend to use unbranded coaches where possible, there are number of reasons why mostly around security etc.

It is, or was pre-Covid, the same with the coaches bringing all the gangsters’ molls to visit their other halves in the Isle of Wight’s prisons on Sundays. Needless to say, locals recognise the vehicles, partly because they are unbranded.

Yes, it sort of defeats the object... Actually draws more attention.

It is a similar story around Portsmouth and Plymouth with various white buses and coaches operated by Babcock at various establishments.

Might just ask here, but why does SPS require such a large number of Streetdecks/Yutongs/Enviro200s to operate around Hinckley Point when a lot of them seem to be looking as if they run empty most of the day?

They'll run whatever they're contracted to by EDF who'll set the schedule.
