There was a recent post on the Travel West Yorkshire Forum stating that as First West Yorkshire Halifax had received a number of E400s transferred from Oldham and Potteries, B7TLs would be withdrawn from Halifax, some B9TLs would be for resale and a few B9TLs would be going to First South West.
Are we talking here about 39191 and 39192?
If so they were loaned to Reaseheath College for apprentice training as The Grand Wazoo says.
However around February this year they were donated to the college and so have been disposed from the FirstBus fleet.
Many thanks. So regarding the stated aim of replacing the ageing B7TLs there will still be a need for a large intake of cascaded deckers from somewhere.
Dated 26 February a summary of the 7 April service changes has now appeared on the First Bristol, Bath and West of England website under ‘Planned Changes’
