First Bus - Leicester

[Tony]

. Also, someone should update the info for 66306, as apparently it hasn't had an M.O.T since 2007.

Bus MoT's do not show on the DVSA tax check site

Someone at the DVSA has entered an incorrect registration when MoTing a Suzuki motorbike in 2006

I thought 66321 was scrapped?

Also what on earth has happened to 35169, it's not been out for months (not that it will be for ages)

[It was. I meant to say 66320 there.]

According to bustimes, every double decker except 35155, 35168, 35187 and 35190 is out, with only 2 single deckers out.
It's certainly nice to see that 32644, 5 and 6 are still working, if bustimes are correct.
It does seem like a wiser idea to use all the Decker's rather than the Single decker's, for capacity purposes. 32644 is allegedly on the 12, with 32645 on the 18.
35171 is also on the 17, which is interesting.
Route branded allocations are mostly out of the question.

Prior to the lockdown, 66840 had moved to Norwich. Additionally, 33693, 33695, 33696, 33697, 33700, 33728 and 33733 appear to have transferred to Leicester from Bolton.

I bloody hope they enter service in Leicester and aren't here for repairs or servicing,

I saw 6 Enviro 400's today parked up at Adderley Green depot. Their positioning made identification of most difficult, but 33733 is one of them. Here for prep before moving to Leicester maybe? All are still in standard first group livery with Diamond stickers covering the First logos at present.

No double decks though

Well I think First could do with a bit more, as I think they got rid of the ALX400s far too quickly back in 2015 and then those 4 Geminis a year later. In other news, 63107 had a bit of an accident yesterday afternoon, hitting some traffic lights at an Uppingham Road junction.
