Today's featured bus now lives on the South Coast...
First Bristol 32708 - W708PHT - Bristol (Rupert St) - 4th May 2010
First Bristol used to operate the Blue P&R corridor in the city. Using a fleet of Dennis Tridents new in 2000, route 904 the only P&R route that First operated in the city. The Tridents wore this attractive blue livery. First has since lost the contract for the 904 to CT Plus, but has gained another route (the 903 to Long Ashton). Thus, the Tridents have moved on to other routes.
32708 is now one of three former Bristol Tridents on the South Coast now with First Hants & Dorset. 32708 is one of two now at Poole outstation, used to operate the recently won 387 from Poole to Dorchester. Both are in Barbie fleet livery these days.
In slightly different news, the first two buses in the new corporate First livery have arrived in Dorset. Dart 42821 (S821KPR) - new to Southern National - is one of them, and the buses wear "First Wessex" branding.
