I saw a 56-reg Solo on route 173, probably ex-Preston, race past on the other side of the road today. It may be the one reported in this thread earlier this week. I reckon it is to start a repaint programme for ex-Bluebird Solo SRs.

I wonder whether there will be some reallocations on April 7th. Would it not have been more logical to revise the fares the same day the routes are being revised?

I think they try to change fares during school holidays so it dosen't have a big impact on the first Monday the new fare's come into effect, although why dont they give passengers a little more notice, 7/8 days isn't nearly enough and the Stagecoach buses i travelled to/from work on today had no mention of the fare increase, infact one bus [169 HE] still had the prices for the current day/mega prices.
Why its kept such a close guarded secret i really dont know.
