New style Optare Solo rear end
Courtney Buses have extended their Sunday service on the 194 from The Meadows through to Camberley (as per the Mon-Sat 194) and then onto Old Dean Estate.
They started competing with First on some Bracknell town routes from the same time, which has unsurprisingly upset First. As well as offering free return trips when buying just a single on those town routes, they've now registered a Sunday service on the 194, numbered X94. It will leave Bracknell five minutes ahead of Courtney's service.
It will be interesting to see if Courtney's service lasts. They used to run the Sunday service on the 190 Bracknell - Reading when First didn't want to bother with Sundays, but they got muscled off that too.
It's a shame, as Courtney has nice new buses and there was a lot of interest in the service today, on just its third week.
YJ62 FCC is a new Slimline Solo SR Courtney have bought. It shows off the new style Solo rear end here, currently only fitted to Slimlines, but due to be rolled out to all Solos in due course.
