I was a conductor at weston in the 1960 s on the ks double deckers and the lowdeckers the seafront was service 103 and 7 was 105 and high st to bournville
was 108- 109 they were good days and great fun in the summer
the lowdecker convertible open tops still survive .
it takes the mick...how many double deckers were on the 7 route and thats during holiday time and the middle pf the day and yet they never put then on in the mornings during term time as they are seriously needed at that time...as i don't think B7L's and B7RLE's were built to serve the pur[ose of being a TARDIS
First have picked back up the 4s and are doin the 16s, but i dunno how much longer for! and they are doin the sunday X26 too. i think first will prob end up with quite a few of their old services back like the 83 and 806s. just a shame the beavers are bein phased out cos they r my favourites!
you live in weston too, if the beavers are being phased out what r they being replaced with, in my opinion first would be better off heaving all the routes back as it would be easier for the locals seeming that they is one bus company
well they cud be replacing them with 8.8 darts, or optare solos i guess? shame tho cos i dont think they r gonna go for the new beaver 2s. its only the 3s mainly that use beavers now anyway, as the 5s 14s and 7s are all usin single deckers anyway! yeh now we have bloody coombs and bakers dolphin tryin to operate bus services! lol
i've seen some darts on the 3 route as there is one in this video, and for some reason atm there are using the marshall bodied darts on the 7nroute which in my mind is stupid as they aren't big enough for the comuter rush, the 14 has been using the beavers as well for some reason aswell, coombs buses are still fitted with seat belts, so it must be temporary
yeh i think they just use anythin on anything at the minute! i saw a beaver on the 121s, doubles and beavers on the 7s too. i spect they are just workin on certain vehicles! guess we will just have to watch this space with the beavers!
really at peak times they need the b7tl or an olympian as its a nightmare not the beavers they aren't even big enough for the 3 route at most times, they must be repairing the volvo b7's or something, best thing to do is ask i think to see if they are getting rid of them, and the iconic noise well be lost, it is a shame but the time has come i think
yeh lets be fair they are nackered! and the old J reg ones went years ago and they were only 2 years older than most of the current ones! yeh its a shame but maybe they will replace them with SLF darts like they use in bath!
oh god i remember those J reg j***HWS weren't they, the ones they use in bath were originally from weston as the are P258-264PAE which always done the 7 route, if you've noticed most of the fleet now are volvo powered
i think the beavers are being replaced early 2010 as on the first website the 3 is being reduced to every 20 mins and it says it will benifit from low floor buses which will be introduced in early 2010
great vid 5* and fave, you must have visited just after ACL went bust, as coombs travel stepped up to temporaly running the services ACL won off first bus back in feb and also bakers dolphin is doin sunday services i think
