33404 was back on the road this morning but I'm sorry to have to report it broke down in Bromsgrove on its first journey.

It seemed to have broken down at quite an inconvenient place as well, right on Barnsley Hall roundabout iirc!

They were superb buses when new. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but I hated Darts when we first started getting them, but this batch changed my mind. They are not as good as they once were, but then that is to be expected with their age.

Is there a better member of the batch?

Route branding seems to be flavour of the month again at the moment, so I'm expecting something! It is currently over a pit having a few minor jobs sorted before going into service. 63102 is over the pit next to it having a long list of problems sorted... :roll: Bad that buses are transferred into ...

The badge was fitted before being taken to Buses Festival. The other two are used just as much but 42893 gets all the attention because it's the only one painted in the new livery.

The "South Wales / DeCymru" brand names have been removed from 53802 this morning and replaced by "Worcester" in the skyline style. Did I see that 42893 has had Skyline style logos removed, from your latest picture? http://www.midlandred.net/vehicles/photograph.php?operator=mrw&...

So, to sum up the Autumn's changes, we've got the new Herefordshire contracts, new Ticketer machines, then Worcester City/Vale of Evesham/Malvern changes come October, complete with "the Malverns" branding and was "the fifties" mentioned for the Evesham's? Plus refurbed B7RLE's ...

I see from the home page, that the contract for the 417 is for an impressive 7 years ! - are all the Herefordshire gains for 7 years, Adam ? Also, if my memory serves me right, I believe Adam that you are "allocated" to a section of our drivers (or rota) for certain rural services, that w...
