Thing is you look back 10 years or so and Avon had a good clean looking fleet, they were certainly a respectable looking smaller operator back then, really don't understand what's happened. Isn't their transport manager/general manager supposed to be an enthusiast ??
RE: Avon Buses - WAITING FOR THE 437 - 11/06/2018 00:58
Since Avon had their PVR reduced. Have any vehicles been withdrawn?
How is their overall level of service since the changes ? Have things improved.

I reported in my monthly Merseyside Fleet Update that KP51 UFK (151), V187 ERG (187), KU52 YLB (252) Y173 NLK (173) Y174 NLK (174), KU02 YBB (202) KU02 YBD (302) have all been Withdrawn, I believe some Buses may of been withdrawn since my update/Are due off really soon.

Seeing a couple of posts on Facebook saying Avon Buses have ceased trading, Anyone able to confirm?
RE: Avon Buses - M60lad - 05/10/2018 07:46
Looking like it is true as one of their drivers as posted on Facebook, I wonder who's going to take on the routes, looks like Merseytravel might be trying to find operators to operate them asap maybe Stagecoach or Arriva could take some of the routes on considering they have depot's on Wirral
RE: Avon Buses - MPTE1955 - 05/10/2018 07:48
If its true then its probably been coming since the service problems of last year.
No longer a rumour sadly this is true they have gone and another long standing I dependent has gone.
RE: Avon Buses - T42 PVM - 05/10/2018 08:28
This has now been posted on the Merseytravel Website: Avon Bus services. - Due to operational difficulties Avon Buses are not operating at this time. We are awaiting further updates from the operator.
