Thanks for these updates FireFly.

Do any of you know what's happened to 35151 and 35153. They've not been out since the start of the month.

32644 hasn't been out since the 17th, hopefully that not gone.

32643, 32644, 32645 & 32646 are all alive and well.

35153 is back in use. 35151 is still off for.

35169, 35178 & 35187 have all had their route branding removed, for routes 14/14A, 22 & 54 respectively, and had it replaced with a vinyl which promotes ticket purchasing via the company's app.

LazyGuy222

That seems like a stupid thing to do. 35187 makes sense but 178 and 169 don't as they are in the middle of the batch.

LazyGuy222

35154 and 35170 were both on the 54 today despite being branded for the 14/A and 22 respectively. Have these also been debranded I wonder. First seem to be debranding vehicles for a strange reason. 66973, branded for the 13, appeared on the 22 yesterday. It's getting messed up.

32644 had an oil leak yesterday while operating the 22. The end is near for the B7TLs

I don't think so.

A 15 year old bus is not near the end of its life

First (nor other groups) do not write buses like B7TLs down over a 15 year life as shown by the fact First, Arrive, Stagecoach, NX and Go-Ahead are all operating double decks a lot older than 54 plate

Clearly correct. It's back in service after the weekend off.
