Interesting that DRM have enough drivers !

That was quick -- 69449 has just been corrected to Salt Road green, on the tracker !!

I've just been on the Aldi carpark next to the "patch" -- where 69449 was parked, and it's still in SALT ROAD livery, and not in the "We are Worcester" as claimed on the tracker "fleet list".

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but according to the tracker, this one has not been used since November 26th, even though it's been repainted into "We are Worcester" livery.
IF correct does anyone know why / what's going-on ?

Thanks.

SORRY about that !!

I shall very much miss the StreetDecks, -- I like their styling, and the view from the top deck is good enough if you sit near the front, and they are smooth riding and quieter than some. However, reliability is crucial for WR's deckers, and the number of times I've seen (on the tracker) that one (o...

37147 is supposedly a short term acquisition, but there was a discussion in the canteen between a couple of supervisors and drivers regarding Streetdecks. The question was asked if we could do without 35156-9, and have 12 plate Volvos instead. The only problem is the S23, which regularly carry 80 -...

Yes, it really is 32646 !

A bit of a clatter coming from the engine compartment, but I've heard worse from a B7TL !!
