Hi all
Stagecoach Gold is coming to a few routes in the South, Oxford and Midlands.
Route X4 - Peterborough to Milton Keynes (batch in delivery at the moment)
Route 66 - Oxford to Swindon (due December 2011)
Route S3 - Oxford to Charlbury/Chipping Norton (due December 2011)
Route S5 - Oxford to Bicester/Glory Farm/Langford/Arncott (due December 2011)
At last some decent buses for the 3 hour long Route X4, standard seated e400s are not that comfy for that length of time. Route 66 has already had a near 40% patronage increase over the past year, so it is expected the Gold standard will push the ridership up even more. With Routes S3 and S5 going Gold the only S series branded route that will not be run by Gold standard buses will be the S4 (Banbury to Oxford) which is due standard e200s in December.
Also 2 gold spec E300s are due for Chichester for a yet to be named route,
