Metrobus look to be taking on the Sunday operation of route 32 from Stagecoach at the end of August. Their route registration seemingly covers the full length Guildford to Redhill as per the Mon-Sat Compass Bus service, rather than just the current contracted Guildford to Strood Green section which is run by Stagecoach under contract to Surrey County Council. Two trips continue to and from Redhill but running fast between Redhill and Reigate i.e not the normal 32 and not doing Earlswood

It only two journeys during lunchtimes! From Strood Green to Redhill and same back to Strood Green then onward to Guildford as normal. www.metrobus.co.uk/august-service-update

Due to a PVR reduction on Fastway route 100, OmniCity’s 6624 and 6625 have been withdrawn.

Does anyone know what the likely fleet movement will be once the Hydrogen buses arrive and in service. E.g. 55 reg Omnicity being withdrawn or B7RLEs rolled out onto more routes across Crawley. I figured that the 1 & 3 would become fully B7RLE.

6559, the last remaining 07 reg OmniCity SD was sadly destroyed by fire this afternoon following a collision on the A24. No serious injuries thankfully.

I also heard a rumour that due to rapid growth of Crawley, there could be some new routes added to the fastway portfolio. can anyone confrim The MMC is awaiting UK registration prior to service entry, shouldn't be too long. The first hydrogen bus is nearly built, they are planned to arrive towards the year end and then hit the road begining of 2023 - that's just the first batch, there's another 34 due later in 2023 for Surrey routes. No confirmed new Fastway routes but sure the new housing developments bring potential for such BRT provision one day.

oh wow. I wasn't aware that the second batch were coming so soon. Im sure they will look great in both the castaway and MB Blue colours. any idea if the second bath will have some allocated to the 100? The second batch will indeed include models for the 100 The Fastway batch should look really smart when they hit the road

They've done very well though.
