First Bus - Leicester

[47609FireFly]

35190, 35191 & 35192 are all on loan to 'The Red' (Worcester), doing park & ride for the Victorian Fayre.

32627 & 37158 from PMT are also in use.

Well, 35191 and 192 are both back, doing there various journeys around Leicester's Sunday timetable. 35190 isn't in service, but could be back.

63353 is sitting in the depot in a sorrowful state. Many of its panels have been removed, and has empty gaps over the place.
Two of those B7's from Cymru are sitting together in the depot too, still in their cymru clipper livery.

Looks nice, but I gotta admit it reminds of me of how McDonald's locations used to look many years ago, as well as the old Midland Fox livery.

Good, but the front needs something. That yellow doesn't look good bland.
Also, are they refurbished, as I can't tell from the pictures.

I noticed the yellow bars instead of the normal turquoise but it's had them since Wales, and I couldn't find any pictures to help identify the seats. All I'm gonna say is keep it and any others that get this livery (I'd imagine 69382 isn't far off joining) off the routes that overlap the Kinchbus services as they might get mistaken for one of their Wright Solars.

69381 was out yesterday (02/12/2019) on routes 16/74 and is out today (03/12/2019) on routes 14/14A, in full Welsh attire.

66967 and 66968 are now with First York.

66314 carted off for scrap, by PVS, yesterday (02/12/2019).

Don't have a clue if this was true or not, but 35152 was allegedly on the 12, and 35153 did a single journey on the 22.

StreetLite 63365, dressed in Christmas vinyls, operating on route 17 today (05/12/2019).

I've seen a picture of it.

It's livery is the same as the one on 63366, which someone posted in the Wyvern channel.

South Yorkshire StreetDecks 35117 and 35131 arrived at Abbey Lane today (06/12/2019).

[leicesterbusadventurer]

I have a theory that over the next year or so, services 12, 13, 17, 21 and 38/38A will also end up with newer Volvos in their own liveries like they've done with the 18 and 88/88A, leaving the Streetlites to work alongside the StreetDecks and the 25/26 and 16/74.

Do you think these will be replacements for Leicester's Gemini's?

Do you think these will be replacements for Leicester's Gemini's?

I hope not. We were told ages ago they'd be B9s from Leeds.
