Yes they are interworked

Saw one of the Centaeno (?) vehicles in its new livery earlier. Got to say I don't really like the full blue undercoat. The swoops look nice on all the vehicles I've seen so far, but I think the light coloured main body such as that on the new Enviros looks a lot cleaner and modern.

It seems that Avon has fallen into the same trap as Halton Transport in that there is not a fully consistent livery across all vehicles. That said, it's nice to see that they are getting new paint jobs, as some vehicles were beginning to look rather tired.

As for loadings am the only Passenger

I wonder what the loadings are like for the 93 for the rest of the day , fast tags do give a very healthy discount now as well as a dedicated lane for buses at Birkenhead .

Am wondering the same as i was the only Passenger on all the way to Arrowe Park! As for 152, Thats a little rocket, Driver had his foot to the floor all the way and the Bus had a great turn off speed

I suspect it will take a few weeks for people to get used to new routes and start using them and I hope for Avon it's a sucsessful move
