Thanks to Ed Goodridge for this picture of First Buses of Somerset Wright GB Kite Electroliner 63700 (BN75NWH) seen in Watchet back in April. First's operations in the west have gone through several upheavals, especially recently with the abandonment of Cornish operations. First Buses of Somerset was hived off from the parent Bristol fleet in 2014 and given their own two tone green livery. The company was put under First Devon & Cornwall operation, basically the old Western National, now it is all that is left of the South-West operation and confined to the Taunton and Bridgwater area of Somerset. The Somerset fleet was the recipient of hand-me-downs from other First fleets, but electric 63700 is certainly not a hand-me-down, but its a sign that the two tone green livery has been assigned to history. It was originally intended to be registered BN25DFY before registrations changed to 75 plates in August 2025, a likely guess is that is was delayed entry into service awaiting charging infrastructure installation at the depot!
