Is that bus still in Service?
I am fairly sure that I saw it today, at the tour bus stop at the south end of the Salthouse Dock at about 9:40. Couldn't swear that it was in service, but seems highly likely.
(I notice that Volvo B7TL / President PJ53 NKD has become T9, and that T10 is Dennis Trident / EL Lolyne T818 RFG, but I haven't seen any sign of a T8 yet - is there / has there been one?)

Yep I can confirm the ex-Dublin bus was out today, ironically I decided to have a tour courtesy of ACE on the Trident, I don't know if its me but the ELC Tridents seem to have much more power than their ALX counterparts possibly a lighter weight body or just the fact they've not been thrashed around London

MX10 DXD - 700 was on the 210 today , possible replacement for MX12 CFF

Was told by a driver last night that Ace have lost the contract for the 130,210 & 250 from october. Cumfybus are reported to be bidding for it but i hope arriva or stagecoach get it.
RE: ACE Travel - Neoplan N4009 - 22/07/2013 10:11
I thought the contract was taken on slight emergency short term from Impera wasn't it ? After the days of Supertravel the 130-210-250 have become very varied with so many operators
RE: ACE Travel - buses7675 - 22/07/2013 13:42
This is correct as I believe, the current Ace Travel emergency contract ends in October - No idea personally if Ace have bid again for it but I'd expect quite a few local operators have done so!
RE: ACE Travel - jimbo - 22/07/2013 14:09
Id rather see ace keep them or cumfybus win, mainly cause im against huge companies monopolising thr bus networks
RE: ACE Travel - MX12CFE - 24/07/2013 06:14
Was informed last night that 756 is being repaired and will re-enter service with Ace soon. Other news is HTL have won the contracts for the 130,210&250
