I had it in the back of my mind that 6015 was one of the many short to medium-term DD12 allocations at Worcester, and that it might NOW have spent longer at WR than it did in the 1960s and 70s. I've now checked in the Fleet History section of the main website, and indeed this is the case ! I see it ...

I took these back in September (4th) 2019 and didn't post them as I was miffed about withdrawal of Saturday 37 service. The grapevine news is that Worcestershire County Council are going to support the Saturday 37 which will resume working from 23 November 2019 and they will also co-operate with Fi...

There have been some pleasing changes since the schools went back on Monday. There's been a DD on the 45 all day, and on the 16.10 X50 to Evesham. I decided to use the latter today, and was very pleased that by the top of the London Road it was evident that a DD really was needed ! Some days it has ...

Matt ! - I'm intrigued by the the Malverneer name ! I frequently walk in the Malverns, and have done for over 50 years, but I have never come across that name before !! - I've just "googled" it, and there are no links / references to it ! If you have just come-up with the name, I am very impressed i...

Looking on the bus tracker, it shows 64014 as out of service whereas both the grey ones are in service (today), -- could it be possible that THIS (old) Citaro is being converted to Euro6 ? -- or was one of the others done very quickly ? :?: 64014 had been off the road with an ongoing and frustratin...

I have for a long time fancied a green livery for the 44 (similar or same colours as the Salt Road) -- -- that's because of the scenic area that "the Malverns" is, and to emphasise the green credentials of the bus, and to encourage travellers to "be green". However, if it's true that FMR is to repla...

Thanks v. much you guys for clarifying that key info. above !

I have posted this link to the Worcester Bus Users Forum, because I find the reply from First about the 34 not going to Tesco, very interesting. I have a lot of sympathy with the predicament that First find themselves in -- with multiple problems, -- a likely one being maximum pressure from the very...

I'm thinking of heading to Worcester tomorrow. What routes are the deckers most likely to be on? TOM, I forgot the Saturday RUGBY services ! I see on the tracker there are only 2 deckers in service at the moment, but the rugby service from Crowngate should start 13.00. There is also the service fro...

Still one of the best retro liveries ever, hard to believe that it was five years ago this week that it was unveiled at Worcester Racecourse. I'll be sad to see it go. Next retro livery should be a saloon in Midland Red West colours, Mr Eggleton I can lend you 544 as a pattern if you need it... If ...
