66316 has now moved to Worcester, I assume it's been exchanged for another Streetlite which will be this year's Santa bus.

It's 33728 which is no longer showing but that has never tracked on the system - I don't know how the Bustimes systems work but I have noticed other vehicles disappear from the lists after a length of time not tracking so it may just be automatic - 63353 went missing for a long time and I suspect the recent track (4th November) may either have been a test or the machine was installed in a different bus but the fleet number not updated.
33728 isn't included on the full list of First vehicles either.

It's more or less covered by the 14, just rather than Aikman Avenue, it goes down Stevenson Drive, and goes direct down Liberty Road. It does mean Park Rise wouldn't be served if it were to be scrapped, but it would only be a 5 minute walk to either the 14 or even the 18, and both are a lot more frequent.
Numbers on 12 have always been low. So I think 12 would probably stay at hourly even after all this covid! I mean even now (pre 2nd lockdown) the bus isn't full.. so when it's able to run at full capacity, probably wouldn't be viable?
Could be wrong.
Quote from: Glenfieldmathk1 on November 08, 2020, 11:49:58 AMThe 12, pre-Covid, was half-hourly, so when everything is back to normal, should use 2 vehicles.
I believe the plan is to eventually brand all of the network! Leicester to have a full branded network back in the day's of Barbie.. so I guess, that's the plan eventually. However it's going to take some time to do it all.
As for 17, I'm not sure which other bus (or if that bus) will be branded!
I'm thinking.. Service 12 only uses 1 bus, and with Frequent Fourteens branded.. maybe it'll become a dark blue / indigo colour for 12?
