I was a bit lost as to where to stick this stopic but IT could benefit both enthusiasts and passengers of this forum.
Would it be possible for anyone to post railway replacements here and if possible, include some details such as what stations its serving (and for the enthusiasts), what buses are running, etc

It might be a buzz for the enthusiast, but as most buses on RR will be red (and if not, how many of the 'general public' have heard of Ensignbus, let alone be able to recognise their colour scheme), naming the operating company would be rather superflous, especially if THEY had subcontracted out to other companies. It is shown on roadside timetables, but you would need a magnifying glass to see it! ;D |

Mind you the majority of if not all the people that view/regiser with this forum are either transport drivers or enthusiasts anyway I dont think it would hurt if this was a topic.

Thats probably my most wanted bus on RRS, unless that mysterious ECW Olympian reappears again ;D. |

Nah, its a red single door C reg one (not L class ones) with no logos or even legals on. Just a yellow school bus logo. A101 SYE is ex Connex L1 and now with Greenline. |
