How come ? Lost airport contract ?

Holiday traffic less this time of year

Apparently the car parks in use at this time of year are within walking distance of the terminal so no shuttle buses are needed.

Noticed recently that the 15:45 19 Shrewsbury - Lightmoor - Telford and 17:20 return has been operated by Shrewsbury depot and no Telford as in the past, this this a recent development?

The rest of the 19 is Telford operated.

No, this isn't recent. Usually worked by a solo but there has been a versa on it before.

BYD Enviro 200EV was spotted today in Shrewsbury. Not sure which route it was on as there were no blinds but at a guess, I'd say it was on the P&R's.

Cadet 2745 LF02 PLX was noted parked at the depot here, ticket machine fitted but a section of front grill removed. I don't believe it has seen service in Shrewsbury as yet.

The increased P&R frequency on the Meole Brace is seeing the pimped up Versas, 2974/5/6 that were refurbished for route 1 Abbots Green been favoured so far. The 1 was all Solo today, 2500/2519 and 6010 (ouch!).

The 1 is frequently operated by solos (although the allocation should be versa's 2974/5/6) and 6004/8/9/10 frequently make an appearance.

2512 from Telford via a weekend at Oswestry is operating here, noted on a 23 Monkmoor.

3699 YJ12 PLN is the first of the 11.7M Versas to gain the new fleet livery. It's currently working on the 07:31 519 Shrewsbury to Newport service.

Not sure how the interworking with the 2/12 & 8/20 is going to work given that they can't cross town?

Depotosw · February 25, 2020, 06:49:21 PM
