We have now moved over to our new Wordpress site at https://brahambuses.wordpress.com/. You will need to request access to the new site as it is in private mode. This is to help the battle against viewers stealing my nets. If you are found to be stealing nets from me, you will be removed and banned for viewing the new Wordpress site.
Other than the change of site, everything about Braham Buses Group remains the same but with more great changes and additions to our fleet including a brand new corporate livery being launched in just a few weeks time!
Thank you for viewing my site and I hope to see you over on the new Wordpress site soon!

Wiltshire Buses Repaints
Two more buses have been repainted into the new Wiltshire Buses livery. These are Devizes-based ADL Enviro200 2109 AU63 FLR and Optare Solo 2142 ER05 BUS. The decision to repaint 2109 was taken after passengers said that the shade of green used towards the rear of the bus was ghastly. 2142 was sent for a repaint as it was due one anyway with the bus now being 10 years old. They are both seen below with there new coats of paint:
More of the fleet will be repainted over time!

Norwich & Luton Service Changes
Along with the other service changes that we currently have in place across the groups network of services, we will also be making improvements to our services in Norwich and Luton. These will be coming into place on different dates and are listed below:
Norwich - beginning on the 20th September
Green Route 40: A new service between Norwich City Centre and Catton (Morrisions) via New Sprowston and Old Catton. This service will operate every 15 minutes using green liveried double decker buses.
Green Route 41: This service will no longer serve New Sprowston with this part of the service being replaced by new Green Route 40. This service will, therefore, run straight to Sprowston via Gurney Road at a every 15 minute frequency using green liveried double decker buses.
Luton - beginning on the 30th August
Route 19: We will be taking over the contract for this service from Centrebus from the above date. This routes operates between Luton and Breachwood Green with the timetable remaining the same as with its existing operator.
Route 95: A new service linking Luton and Milton Keynes serving Milton Keynes Rail Station and Shopping Centre. This new service will operate on a very similar route to the old route 99 that will be withdrawn from this date. Route 95 will operate every 30 minutes between the two destinations.
Route 99: This service will be withdrawn from the above date with new route 95 taking over.

We will be moving...
As of the 21st August, we will be moving over to a new site on Wordpress at https://brahambuses.wordpress.com/. This site is private so you will need to have a Wordpress account to be able to access it and you will have to request access to view the site. I know a number of you have already done this but there is no limit to the amount of time that readers have to request access. Once we move over, the site will be run in the same format as our current site but with the odd additional page. All company news and fleet news will be posted on the new sites homepage as usual.
We have been meaning to make this move for some time now and we hope that this move will reduce the chances of nets being stolen as you will be banned from the site if you are found to have stolen nets from the site as this is strictly not permitted!
This site will stay active for one week after the move to allow readers chance to move over with us and then this site will be removed and will no longer be accessible.
