Travelled on 509 ( S509SFR), it must of had a new gear box, it's running 100 times better than when I was on it about month ago.

There's a notice on the buses advising of fare increase from Monday, with kids fares losing the flat fare and being 2/3 adult fare.
Other companies may do the same, seem to remember arriva and stagecoach put fares up as the schools go back in previous years
Not sure if it still has it but when I seen S511 KFL just over a week ago, sounded pretty rough, 90% certain it's an exhaust problem, blowing really badly, sounded like a banger!
Nice to see the Primo out and about on the 83's today
Was on the 492 earlier, there's notices on the buses saying Avon are entering into the world of day tickets from Monday.

If I remember rightly, There'll be 2 types of ticket, a Wirral only one which is £4.00 and an all area ticket, covering Wirral, Liverpool and Chester routes which is £6.00, which I though was a little expensive!
There pricing does seem a bit out of kilter with regards the Wirral ticket at £4.00 , especially with an Area B Saveaway at £3.50 , the All other areas ticket at £6 seems a bit on the greedy side , if they are the correct prices.
Yeah, was deffo £4 and £6.

Interestingly, unlike other companies, the notice states they won't be valid on merseytravel services.
Surly that cant be alowd as its ran by avon a avon ticket should be accepted and if there the day for adults the kids must be daft and if they start weeklys then that would be OTT if the day saver is not already
How many primo's did Avon originally have? does anyone know?
I think it was just the three, although I'm sure someone can correct me here if I'm wrong.
Yeah, I seem to remember it was 3, with 2 having been sold few years ago
