Stagecoach West
The planned takeover of South Gloucestershire Bus and Coach took place at 01:00 on Saturday 16th November. With thanks to our regular correspondents’ Dave Russell and Deric Pemberton we are able to provide full details of the vehicles taken over by Stagecoach along with the Stagecoach fleet numbers allocated. The Megabus vehicles which had been on loan have reverted to their former Stagecoach fleet numbers.
