Recent service registrations have been accepted by the VOSA from newest Stagecoach acquisition Fleet Buzz. For those that have never heard of this company it was previously part of Countrywide Travel who operated from a depot at Oakley, on the outskirts of Basingstoke. The company was split up, with the coaching unit heading to Simon Weaver and Weavaway Travel; the bus services moving to a new depot in Farnham as Fleet Buzz.
Stagecoach bought Fleet Buzz at the end of last year and have made their first significant changes – apart from adding the fleet to their 5 digit numbering system – all in the Aldershot area:
13: Schoolbus for Brighton Hill / Cliddesden
70: Elvetham Heath – Fleet – Aldershot Bus Station
Hourly Monday to Friday
71: Elvetham Heath – Fleet – Farnham
Hourly Monday to Friday
72: Aldershot – Fleet – Reading
Hourly Monday to Saturday
73 73M 73X: Zebon Copse – Fleet – Frimley Park Hospital
Half Hourly Monday to Saturday
75: Schoolbus for Calthorpe Park School
79: Yateley – Fleet – Farnham 6th Form College
Monday to Friday
80 81: Schoolbus for Yateley School
82: Fleet – Farnborough – Reading
Hourly Monday to Saturday
83: Schoolbus for Yateley School
145: Three Mile Cross – Wokingham – Winnersh
Tuesdays Only
Now that is an extensive list but many of the services are duplicates of ones that are already being operated by Fleet Buzz “pre-Stagecoach”. it will be interesting to see how the new timetables compare when they are released by either Stagecoach on their corporate site, or the Fleet Buzz site which still has details of its Christmas operating hours published. There are some significant changes in regards to their services heading to Reading, however this might just be a standardisation operation for the services.
