Is anything due to replace this and 154


RE: Avon Buses - T42 PVM - 04/06/2016 22:59

Considering they just got about 6 Enviros and a couple of other Buses from Helms i think its kinda clear whats replacing them...

Forgive me if this is in the wrong place on the site.

Have been thinking about repainting an unwanted Plaxton-bodied Dart model into Avon colours - what shades are the blue and cream? Donor model is an 8.9m so what fleet numbers can I use?

Thanks, folks.

I'm not sure on the shades, but I think T548 HNH (548) W124XMA (124) V187 ERG (187) KN52 NFE (152) KP54 BYO (354) are that size (assuming it's an SLF model). Just off top of my head but sure there has been more

Many thanks, I'll get my investigating head on for fleet number locations and the like. Whilst I'm not what one would call a rivet counter, if I can get it right, I will.

Do rather like Avon's 35th Anniversary livery but way beyond my modelling capabilities!

Don't know whether it's been reported or not but there's an MCV which has been repainted into new livery...unsure what one though


RE: Avon Buses - N271CKB - 10/07/2016 23:49

Its 507, spryte 821 is currently being painted.

There will be number of service changes from first week in September I've heard

I wonder what these will be. The 93 seems to be doing well into and out of Liverpool, could it be increased to Half hourly ? Does anyone know how the other recent Liverpool alterations have been doing ?

Hopefully they'll put the times back 5-10 minutes Liverpool bound to get in front of the 492 as that comes a few minutes before the 93 when it gets to the Noctorum
