Stagecoach Peterborough 34879 AE06 GZY has been repainted out of Peterborough Citi now and has had Stagecoach logos applied.

Had a couple of hours out today

36011 and 3606x on citi1

10875 on 21

22333 on citi2/3, was my bus home. It seemed lacking in power, more than usual,but then it did have a trainee driving.

citi 2/3 had 22338 and an unidentified 108xx on it this morning.

36060 in depot as its died on the citi2/3 as its got problems with gear box past 2 to 3 months and been replaced by 36063

Wolsztyn · « **Reply #4 on:** January 29, 2018, 11:14:53 AM »

Not unusual to get 1 MAN on citi 2/3 but we had 3 today all in Peterborough Bus Station at 10.00, 22329/331/and 333.

108xx seen on citi 5, 36 and 37.

Citi 4 has a diversion as Alderman's Drive is closed and the buses go further along Thorpe Road and up Westwood Park Road. Can't go down with the residents of these expensive houses.

N&P application to withdraw the 21 in April with revisions planned to all Peterborough Citi routes and also Country routes (23/24/31/33/36/37)

Noticed that. P!us the 46 is being changed and thats currently only 2 journeys per day.

The 21 was an odd commercial decision. Unsure if Amazon provided information on where staff live but it could have been a little more of a success if it maybe started at Park Farm and routed via Cardea/ Hampton. There must be Amazon workers there? Or provide the early/ late service to/ from station.

Amazon subsidised it, they were unhappy with the timekeeping whilst slavecoach were saying nobody was using it

As far as I know there was no contract with Amazon, it was operated on a purely commercial basis

Tony · « **Reply #14 on:** February 19, 2018, 08:27:49 PM »

wonder if the 36 and 37 changes take into account and or are a relation to whats happening with Kings Lynn

One of the main guys at Amazon uses that service in the evening, he records when every bus arrives and departs,

Seems a big culling of bus services, there will be a lot of towns left without a bus, can see there will be a lot of aggro from this

TCD813 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 19, 2018, 09:34:50 PM »

Just at the point when Mayor James Palmer, of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, is instigating a thorough review of Bus service provision across the sub-region, and wondering whether to exercise his franchising powers...

centralsimon · « **Reply #18 on:** February 19, 2018, 09:37:36 PM »

I noticed the 60's are also included. But they are council supported.

It does look like all Peterborough services are changing. Wonder if its something like a change in bays at Queensgate? Guess we will find out soon.

Aren't there some major long-term roadworks about to start in the city centre that are expected to cause major disruptions to services? (right after they finished the last set). I'm sure I have seen some critical comment about something happening so soon after the last set finished. Could be Stagecoach trying to pre-empt the expected delays to this.

dennisdart · « **Reply #23 on:** February 21, 2018, 09:31:50 AM »

Roadworks have already started and scheduled to continue until July. There have
already been reports of severe delays and some cancellations of services.

This link may explain.

Could any of the changes maybe be linked with the closure of Kings Lynn depot more specifically to the 36 and 37.....??

I believe the changes are separate from King's Lynn closure issues and could be a tidying up of running times. There has been a lot of tinkering with individual timetables over recent years but nothing network-wide as far as I can recall

I was out today and i saw 22231 on the 2/3 today closely followed by 10013 which has also had the Peterborough Citi branding removed.

Steven Knight Media · « **Reply #27 on:** February 27, 2018, 11:35:24 AM »

10013 has been away at Bedford for repaint, hence it is running without logos

ae56luj · « **Reply #28 on:** March 01, 2018, 04:54:45 PM »

10873 lost power on the citi 1 today on Burghley Road, and was replaced by 34880.

10877 on citi 2/3 today along with 22231 and 22239.

18421 was on the 21 this morning but was switched onto a citi 1 at lunchtime, with 37231 taking its place on the 21.

ae56luj · « **Reply #29 on:** March 10, 2018, 08:56:04 PM »

10012 has now had a repaint and running without branding.

It was on the 2/3 today along with 22231 and 22238.

10876 on 5 (dogsthorpe/cardea)
