Stephen Le Bras writes "I find it always interesting to see your update and I note your comment about First Berkshire. In fact, the whole network was reshaped from September 24th which is why 2 more Enviro 200 saloons arrived. One of the existing batch 44561 has had to be sent off for major accident repair.

 

Two extra training buses have arrived at Slough-60337 and 66176. As more services may be operated with longer buses, it is possible that one (66176) or both may yet replace red Dart 41403.

 

As for the route network:

1     Slough to Britwell                                 E20D Citaro

2     Slough to WR/Dedworth                       Citaro/Volvo

3     Slough to Uxbridge                              E20D

4.     Slough to Maidenhead                        Citaro/Volvo

5     Slough to Cippenham                           E20D

6.     Slough to Wexham Park Citaro

7.     Slough to Heathrow T5 & CBS Citaro, Volvo

8     Slough to WR & Heathrow Citaro, Volvo

9-10/11 Eton Wick to Heathrow (as 60/61) E20D

12.     Slough to Burnham Citaro

13.     Slough to Burnham Haymill Rd. Citaro

14.     Slough to Wexham Park Hospital Citaro

 

Slough is therefore the hub of all journey planning.

 

No change to 200, X74 or 702.

 

In off peak times, Citaros are replaced by E20D and may be subbed by hybrids if required. The StreetLite and StreetLite MAX are allocated as required."

Many thanks to Stephen for that interesting update.
