Re: Contract Win for First
I remember reading the WCC contract at work a few months ago but I honestly can't remember how long it was for, and even if I did there is always the possibility that First have negotiated different terms.

Contract Win for First
I see First Worcester have registered routes previously operated by Aston, so I assume that means they have been successful in winning part of the contract that was recently issued by WCC.

Re: Vehicle Replacements 2024

Re: Vehicle Replacements 2024
Sorry Adam, I don't know. I won't be able to find out exactly what they are until I return to work, which will be in around 5 -6 weeks. 5-6 weeks... Lucky!

Re: At last a vehicle at Worcester that isn’t a Streetshite
I know a few drivers at Worcester that are very happy to see the return of an E300 to the fleet. I don't know who does the vehicle allocations at Worcester these days, but I suspect they have just become everyone's best friend! ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
