Aylesbury Loan
While Aylesbury depot are carrying out repaints to two of the Enviro200s (2100 BX58 BEY and 2101 BX58 BFA) into the new Blue Route 2 livery ready for the service changes, Dennis Dart 2141 MM51 YCB is on loan to cover a shortage of buses with BRAHAM branding added to its Wiltshire Buses branding. Once it has been use here it is likely that it will be stripped for parts and then scrapped as it is not DDA compliant.
It is also expected that Aylesbury may have many livery and branding mix ups once the service changes first come into place. Look out for more updates on this!

Crosville Motor Services of Weston-Super-Mare Acquired
Over the past week, we have been in discussion with Crosville Motor Services of Weston-Super-Mare about the take over of there business. We have finally come to an agreement and we can now announce that we have brought the bus sided of the business for an undisclosed sum. However, in the terms of the sale we will have to rebrand and repaint the whole of the fleet into the Braham fleet livery.
We will be moving all of the buses to a new site when we take over the business but Crosville Motor Services will be keeping the current depot with the coaches being based there. There will be changes to the fleet include the withdrawal of many older vehicles and two newer open-top buses joining the fleet for sightseeing service 100 around Weston-Super-Mare.
As we see the group going from strength to strength, we all hope that everyone has had a very Happy Easter!
