With regard to the ex-Aberdeen streetlites, 63204 (at least) has received route branding for the 8. Also, I believe some of the ex-Bristol streetdecks transferred to Weston SM have also been repainted in Badgerline livery (as well as the ex-Yorkshire ones).

I’ve received an email from Westlink:

1711407046 19 March 2024 1711407532 What is not stated in the commentary, but is apparent from the map, is that Axbridge will be taken out of the area served by Westlink.

I assume they mean 2 April?

I understand from the Stagecoach West thread that new electric buses (Alexander Dennis E400) are due for Oxford. Does anyone have more details about when they are expected to enter service, and on which routes please?

So I’ve created one titled ‘Stagecoach Oxfordshire’

I hope not, unless they extend all 4 journeys to Cribbs Causeway.

Did they arrange a taxi in lieu?

It’s probably a software problem.

Also, some 75s turned round there when they put on extras during COVID. From observation, passenger numbers certainly do fall off north of Horfield Common.

Southmead Hospital would be a better option as regards where people want to go, but I would think it might be reaching capacity for terminating buses, especially since the eastern leg of the 10/11 was withdrawn.

Or a variation on the 75 to run via Brabazon?

There is a zoom talk (open to all) by Jason Stevens-Read (National Operations Manager, Local Government Services, EMED Community Care) to the Omnibus Society on February 8th. He will look back over the last year at WESTlink.

Go to the ‘Buses & Coaches’ thread main page and it’s on the right-hand side at the top. But there’s already a ‘Jobs and Careers in the Bus & Coach Industry’ thread in which you could be posting your query.

Yes, I didn’t find them on ‘Bus Lists on the Web’ first time I looked because in those days the owner was identified as ‘Pickford, Chippenham’. The 811Ds were P324/325 TGS and the E200s are still in the fleet (SN65 OFO/OFP)...
