I see the route number 144 does not appear on their City map, just the name "Saltroad". What I've read on Facebook suggests that the latest incarnation of First Bus MAY be considering a group-wide livery and/or an end to special liveries for routes / services. Nigel Eggleton told us he wa...

The latest changes starting next week include (a link to) the 153 timetable with the School Days (only) code omitted, - so I am much relieved about that !
