Mendip Xplorer

Thirty four Wright StreetDecks entered the First West of England fleet last year, split between First Bristol's Hengrove depot for city services (26) and First Somerset & Avon's Wells depot (8).

 

In November, the latter were used to revamp Service 376 (Bristol-Wells-Glastonbury-Street) as the "Mendip Xplorer", which included conversion from Volvo B7RLE operation. These carry the same three-tone blue and gold 'interurban' livery originally applied to the trio of Wright Gemini-bodied Volvo B7TLs allocated to Lawrence Hill depot for Service X7 (Bristol-Chepstow-Newport).

 

In this late April 2016 shot, 35161 is seen at Temple Gate, heading for Bristol City Centre, passing another member of the batch bound for Street.
