19187 is no longer in magic bus colours and has been transferred to Ashton depot and is operating the 7 this morning.
Completley forgot that Ashton Depot are now operating 7 service, what extra vehicles have they gained to operate the service and will it be all double deck now?
Take it then with magic bus going that all magic branded deckers are steadily heading in for repaints into standard livery?
Guessing now that magic bus as a brand is going that all current magic branded deckers will slowly start heading in for repaints into standard livery?
Can't remember which 1 it is but there's an ALX400 decker running round in a full all-over head to toe pink vinyl wrap for pretty little thing. Must be a bit embarrassing for drivers that going round in a bright pink decker covered in
unicorns


Has there been any marketing for the 313 extension to the Airport? Leaflets in local houses, posters at bus stops, social media etc

I am reliably informed that Ashton (maybe other depots as well) are to gain some Euro 3 Enviro400/ALX400 Tridents to cover for service changes. 18372 is one of said vehicles which was sent to Ashton today.
This also ties in with what jonesy3001 mentioned above
This seems bizarre considering the following:
- Tender age limits
- The impending LEZ

Could it not be a stop gap for a few months until Sharston get new Buses which could cascade more suitable replacements?
the tridents from SC&NL are only going on loan then going back to replace 04 tridents, that still operate in the area.

No. Not as far as I'm aware. Word of mouth only and normal sized timetables at bus stops.
