If you're going to do a shameless plug, at least put the link in here...

On another note. YJ60 LTV will presumably be the next repaint. LZX was recently repainted into fleet livery

Perhaps not as both solos were resprayed recently by the previous owner before Banga acquired them, so they're going to keep them white until they need resprayed.

Banga are now tracking on bustimes.org

Banga have new ticketer machines, hence why they've started tracking on bustimes.org

A very prudent measure

They'll be going down the exact fare route. It'll be to minimise the amount of cash drivers are handling, and encourage contactless payment.

Most uk bus operators have now gone down the exact fare route so I guess having the vaults for Banga would reduce the confrontation with passengers wanting their change.
Who'd have thought everyone copying nxwm & Claribels policy of no change
