Good job some of the GNE drivers hadn't done an exchange visit that day! The coffee drinkers would have been left behind with their sealed hot drink Smile

Great to see that the Excels are still in active service! I know the batch with the front similar to the Solo was introduced in 1999 (?), but it's great that it's been refurbished for another few years use.

Don't know if this is of any use to anyone, but I'm currently in Skegness and have compiled a complete fleetlist for a little local operator called Red Bus, based in nearby Friskney. They operate one route, service R1 (Skegness - Winthorpe - Butlins - Fantasy Island).

- JFZ 8626 (P334 JND) - Dennis Dart SLF/Alexander ALX200

- JFZ 8627 (R697 MEW) - Dennis Dart SLF/Marshall Capital

Hoping to break my Brylaine duck at some point over the next few weeks.
Quite an interesting fleet they have, ranging from Solo's to Deckers, with a mixture of vehicles appearing across their routes.
Fingers crossed I get to sample a few of their vehicles - will be in the area working, so will be restricted to the services I use.

Emailed Brylaine with a fare query at 13.22 this afternoon via their 'contact us' section on their website.
They had responded with the price by 13.24!

Appreciate they aren't a massive company, but that is some prompt customer service!

Quite a reasonable fare, with no funky coloured zone boundaries either!
