Please confirm that the 15H will be running next year and the dates it will run in 2020. Also, can you explain why some of the buses have been repainted in the last couple of weeks when they will just be sitting idle from the end of this month. Surely this work would have been better done before service resumes next spring.

Thank you for your request received on 1 September 2019 asking for information about heritage buses.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our Information Access Policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you requested. You asked:

Please confirm that the 15H will be running next year and the dates it will run in 2020.

The heritage buses will run from 2020 onwards, on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays, from the last Saturday in March until the last Saturday in September inclusive.

Also, can you explain why some of the buses have been repainted in the last couple of weeks when they will just be sitting idle from the end of this month. Surely this work would have been better done before service resumes next spring.

The bus operator Stagecoach repainted the buses at their own cost as they wanted to keep them in a good condition, and had availability to do so.

If this is not the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely,

Melissa Nichols
