CURRENT FLEET - FIRST SOUTHERN NATIONAL

Last Updated : December 28th 2005 (brought up-to-date)

The VRs shown on this page were in service with First Southern National on the date shown above. The liveries depicted are the last known to be carried by the individual vehicles. If you know that the livery has now changed I would appreciate receiving an email or, better still, a photo which I will add to this page and credit to you. Remember - the site is only as good as the information I receive.

Particular thanks must go to my friends on the ECWBristol Egroup, especially Steve Oxbrow who lives in the Southern National operating area and has supplied regular reports of the fleet, Andy Fear for permission to use some photos from his excellent website and John Hammond who has supplied many great photos. I would recommend the group wholeheartedly.
