The ‘Firstbus’ fleet in Somerset falls into two distinct categories.
In one of those categories are the members of the fleet that carry the full green or branded liveries and the other are those that don’t.
Blogs covering the ‘green’ fleet were published on 01/05/20 and 05/05/20.
HIG 1533 ‘First Kernow’ No. 65759 ‘Atlantic Coasters’. Scania L94UB / Wright Solar
on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
New registered YN05 GXF to ‘Reading Transport’ No. 1006.
Something of a puzzle. Painted in full ‘First Kernow’ livery working a local
‘First Southwest’ local route.
Route 21 heads North from Taunton to Burnham on Sea.
The most likely explanations are that it is on temporary loan or has been transferred permanently and ‘First South West’ have not as yet got round to repainting it.
Pictured in Taunton.
Since the publication of this blog, I have received the following addition kindly supplied by correspondent ‘bus Kernow’ to whom I offer my thanks for taking the time and trouble to contact me. Dennis

these were transferred from First Kernow to Buses of Somerset in the 2nd half of 2018. The Atlantic Coasters livery it wears here uses the same base colours as for the BoS 21 route although as you can see here it took them some time to remove the vinyls and replace them with new ones |
