There is four routes and and at least three operators operating them being Go-Ahead, Stagecoach & Go-Coach - the Go Coach one is KCC contract so accepts Discovery tickets among others but does anyone know the fares or routing of the Go-Ahead & Stagecoach ones? I understand the AZ1/2 from Thamesmead and Woolwich is pre-booked only for Amazon Staff. That's correct. I covered a rounder on the AZ1 yesterday and it's for ticket holders only. They've added a trip from Woolwich Arsenal at 1830. |

Just seen an electric single deck marked up as being operated by Go Coach and for Fastrack. Was heading through Northfleet.
Don’t wish to speculate any more but currently go coach operate the AZ service with much needed double decks . So it’s quite interesting to see what is planned.

If so, then it was likely the MCV Volvo BZL single decker as the demonstrator is due to work on Fastrack. |

The BZL demo is currently on trial with Go Coach (apparently expected to be used in passenger service at some point), it has a few logos together with Go Coach being one of them |

Interesting. I know the Fastrack services are tendered, but I don’t know where to find the invitations to tender or when the current contracts expire ?

I do have to say, the front design on this single decker BZL as well as the one on the double decker is growing on me, I thought it looked hideous at first. Follows on from the success of the Volvo 7900e with OppCharge trial on Fastrack A in 2018. Guessing this time, the BZL will be trialled on Fastrack AZ? |

Changes to the Fastrack bus network on the 3rd of April 2022: New timetables for Fastrack routes A and B, both routes dropping in frequency from every 10 minutes to every 12 minutes. Fastrack A will begin serving Amazon LCY3 alongside AZ. Arriva Kent Thameside will take over operation of Fastrack AZ from Go-Coach. Go-Coach's last day running the AZ will be the 2nd of April. More details on Arriva's website including updated network maps - www.arrivabus.co.uk/latest-news/northfleet-april-2022-network-changes |

Shame...I’ll catch them while I still can ! These changes are mostly downgrades. Both A and B have frequency reductions to x12 mins, A goes to x30 mins late evening. Gravesend loses the 24/7 section, and the remaining 24/7 section is one bus on the A hourly between Greenhithe and Dartford. Traffic around here is a nightmare at the moment as well. Also from 17/4 the 477 gets withdrawn Dartford to Bluewater and all together on Sundays. |
