1st September 2015.
Stagecoach have acquired an ex-Cheshire Dart SLF, fleet no. 34597 Registration No. SF04VSX
There is rumors that the Dennis Tridents will leave Swindon before 2015 is over.
Thamesdown have 4 ex-Lothian Tridents with Plaxton President bodywork which will become 363-366.
4th September 2015
Thamesdown 363 & 366 have entered service in Lothian colours & with blinds made up permanently for school services H90 (363) & R23 (366) they can normally be seen parked in the bus parking area between Fleming Way & Carfax Street between duties.
Today also saw some odd workings, a Dart SLF on the 17 (not that odd), a Versa on the 18 and a Streetlite on the 21/23/25 trio of routes and another (perhaps the same?) on the 24. Oddly over the last week a Streetlite has been seen on the 11.
106 was on the penultimate day of service 175 today, the last day is the 5th September, when I presume it will be repainted into fleet livery.
