First Bus - Leicester

[Glenfieldmathk1]

Does anyone happen to know whether 35151 has been debranded?
It's been on the 22 twice this week and now the 26.

Not too sure. But I did notice that too - so maybe it is. I will keep a lookout if not confirmed here!

(Also not sure how but I knocked the down thumb, and not sure how to remove it!!).

35190 seems to be struggling with service 13.
Broken down yesterday morning, and then broken down this afternoon too (54 branded 35180 replacing it this afternoon).
Hopefully nothing too serious.

35151 was back on 14/14A today (Tuesday 24/11/20) - I can confirm it has lost its route branding for 14/14A but has NOT (yet) received any generic branding so just has an empty area where the branding used to be.

69442 has gained Saffron branding for the 88/A.

The bus times website has now removed route numbers from all the Streetdecks, and the 25/26 street lites..
Is that a sign of something coming?

Have all 7 E400's arrived?
Bus times just displaying 6?

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.

63353 definitely didn't go out in service. It's been in the depot since November 2019 needing repair to something or the other. It's usually at the front of the depot with many of its panels off.

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

63360 is here as the Christmas bus.

[Glenfieldmathk1]

Read on Facebook (again lots of conflicting information), all 02 plate Volvos are off to Worcester - and all Worcester's (full size) Streetlites are coming to Leicester.
There was previously mention of 2 07 plate Plaxton Centros coming from Worcester too.
I guess we will see as next week is the last full week before they all go Euro 6!

[LazyGuy222]

66320, rather than going to Worcester, has been confirmed as becoming preserved after Leicester is done with it.

[LazyGuy222]

Can anyone confirm whether 35174 is sitting in the depot?
I believe I might've seen it sitting upfront of the depot having been repaired.

[Glenfieldmathk1]

35174 has been confirmed back at Abbey Lane, awaiting Mot and final prep

63359 appears to have joined 63360 at Leicester. Just 3 remain at Worcester now! (63361 - 3)
