  1. I know the advertising is for a very good cause, but thank goodness it has been removed from the rear window. Contravision always makes the vehicle feel claustrophobic for me!

  2. Hi Graham. On your fleet list, the 700 numbers a slighly out 705 jumps to 707 and 708 appears twice. Also 53 is now swooped. Just thought I would let you know for when you do you next update.

  3. i know you maybe busy but is there plans for a new tab for target travel on your fleet list? i found a tab with all the small company but was thinking target should have there own now that there getting bigger and better fleet, also as its a bit behind, like it still says that YX09FLV is still red when its in new livery and that its saying there are still ollys in the fleet.
    though i was there not long ago i cant remember what buses are gone/scrap now too

  6. Couple of updates to my list above. 208 was out and about yesterday (7th November) on a number of routes. Also Dart 27 is of course preserved.

    1. 27 preserved, rightly so! I wonder if 16 will be preserved too as the R reg which stayed on the road longest (with 17 but is lower numerically).

    2. 208 out on "a number of routes"??, unlikely.

    3. 17 is a great old bus. I drove it in service today and would love to see it preserved.

    4. Anonymous 00:37. Unlikely but true as it was out during the day, probably on the 34A and then was swapped with a Dart at the fuelling point in the evening.
