First Bus - Leicester

[Glenfieldmathk1]

71006 entered service today. It means that all 6 converted double deckers are now running in Leicester. 
70201 has also arrived as part of the fleet.. although thought only to be here for engineering work (similar to 35101). Unless it gets repainted to green, I doubt will see much use in service.

Just remind me please what is 35101 having done as it seems to have been here a long time

Something to do with the chassis I believe.

Not sure if it's just no longer tracking..
Or have First now ended the BHX5 / BHX3 contract?

[Coventrybususer95]

They have ended BHX5 not sure about BX3

[SSmith09]

the BHX5 registration was shown as cancelled from 3rd May.

On Friday I saw a StreetDeck Electroliner heading down the M69 at around 4pm. Presumably this means at least one of them is still operating, unless it was going elsewhere

[SSmith09]

Appears to still be operating - 36619 shows on bustimes.org as working it this morning

They probably just haven't published the timetable to BODS, which is either a deliberate decision or just a mistake. Since the service isn't public, they are under no obligation to publish it.
