West of England noteworthys (20th August 2016)

Worth noting if anybody does go to Bristol. Street decks 35148/50 have lost their 90 branding so are now regular on other Hengrove routes.

The 90 is one of many routes that First West of England is reducing in frequency from Sunday 4 September.  Therefore, I am not surprised that some branded buses are being debranded. 
Just to add that First promised that all new timetable booklets operative from 4 September would be available at enquiry offices from 22 August.  That turned out to be true.  Perhaps, TfWM should take note and not issue timetables booklets after the change has taken place.

Kernow:
There was a Plaxton President on the T1 on Tuesday, with 33477 on the T1 on Wednesday.
A new E400 MMC in the Green Kernow livery on the A4 on Monday and Tuesday, the same one both days I think.
And a Solo on the 47 on Wednesday, swapped at Camborne Bus Station for 44968 at 7PM on Wednesday evening.

33112 was also on Boardmasters shuttles this morning at about 09:50 this morning, alongside lots of old step entrance deckers from other operators, including 3 ex Dublin Olympians still in there Dublin Bus livery.
Lots of other old step entrance deckers in white with the same operator name on them, i've forgot the registration of the one that drove past me now.

Lots of interesting and unusual workings in Worcester today. At least two tridents were on the Malvern services which is very rare, a street deck spent the day on the local 30 service, the village links small optare was on the 35 with 53062 on the 417 service. There was also a Volvo centro on the full 144 all day. Definitely a day for the cameras!!
