Yes I fully agree! Glad they managed to turn it around as it wasn't looking good at one point

They deserve credit for getting themselves sorted out, I'm not sure that they deserve credit for running the services that they are supposed to run.

I saw a W reg First Essex Trident (still in First livery) on the 122 today. Is this new to the fleet or has this already been reported? The 122 is usually Dart operated but with the schools being off and the Arriva strike is this a first sighting.

Avon have two ex First B7TLs - W742 DWX and W757 DWX. I think they've been a part of the fleet for a few months or so but I'm not sure

It's been with Avon since start of September. Looks as if both Tridents and an ex Stagecoach Dart replaced withdrawn Darts.

I see that as from today the tendered 159 evening and Sunday service is to be operated by HTL which runs it commercially the rest of the time. Did Avon voluntarily surrender this service or was it compelled to because of staffing issues?
On a positive note, Avon has reprogrammed its destinations for the 122 and 144.
RE: Avon Buses - CX06 EBK - 10/12/2017 13:39
It was voluntarily as far as I am aware.

With the 135 and 159 interworking has 135 gone back to them? Or is 144 now interworking with 135
RE: Avon Buses - buses7675 - 10/12/2017 15:38
135/159 evenings and Sundays are both now with HTL
