Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions
Will the mirrors be of a contrasting colour so they're more noticeable or are they due to remain black?

Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions
Btw, I'm glad to see full-size single deckers are making a come back in Worcester. As a passenger I find midi-buses, like the Streetlites and Enviro 200s, far too compromised as these buses try to squeeze in full-size seating arrangements in a smaller bus. Making it a bit of squeeze for anyone sitti...

Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions
What's the bet that despite route branding, it will be 'off route' a fair few times like the Salt Road ones....and previous route branded buses...

Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
http://www.route-one.net/articles/Bus_routes/Badgerline_is_back THIS is better ! With the introduction of local liveries and brands by First, some from yesterday, I'd love to see Midland Red or Midland Red West back! But that's me being all nostalgic and probably old fashioned. But Midland Red is s...

Re: ...... "along the Salt Road" !
I do wonder how long this new route branding will last especially if there are future changes to the 144 service (route and timetable), the branded buses are used on other routes and the branded livery starts to look a bit worn and tatty. It's not the first time route branding has come and gone at F...

Re: NON - RUNNER AND USELESS RTI !!
I've experienced similar problems with one of the real time displays in Warndon Villages where some services just drop off or suddenly they appear well behind time. And the information doesn't tie up with First's real time app info either which too doesn't reflect where a bus is or how long it'll be...

Re: Progress !
Some of the bus stops where I live, Warndon Villages, have real time information and they're great. Sort of! That's because the info on these doesn't appear to sync with the real time info on First's mobile phone app. So there have been many times where I've checked the app to see when a bus is due,...

Stagecoach in Kidderminster?
I've heard from the grapevine that Stagecoach are interested in taking over the Kidderminster operations. Kidderminster depot on its own is small and I think the nearest Stagecoach operations are in Gloucestershire (former Cheltenham District) and South Wales as well as the former Midland Red South ...

Re: 69435, 69436, 60311 and 60340 at work in Worcester 1 Nov. 2017.
Many thanks for information guys. I saw one of the green buses recently and they look pretty smart in this new colour scheme. Wouldn't it be great if their was a red variation of the Urban 2 livery....though that's just me being nostalgic and pining for a livery to reflect Midland Red history and he...

Re: 69435, 69436, 60311 and 60340 at work in Worcester 1 Nov. 2017.
Hi guys. This green livery, is this something First are rolling out nationally or will it be specific to Worcester? It'd be great if there was a red variation but that's just me being nostalgic and clinging on to Midland Red! Also, I've seen a Cento bodied Volvo with Worcester City branding on it. A...
