Green Bus have some ex-Lothian Volvo/Wright Geminis, some of which I think may still be in Lothian livery. Could it have been one of those, maybe on a schools private hire?

I believe they do, or have done, private hire work for a Malvern school, using their DDs.

The plan is to repaint all the 69436 - 60 vehicles, with 36 - 53 to remain in Salt Road. All were deemed to be worthy of repaint to freshen them up. With the error on 69453, and to perk up DD12, I have suggested that one of the deckers goes into Salt Road, as they do venture out up the A38 from tim...

The latest outlook, in this BBC news article, is not good !

DD12 - The £2 fare goes live from Monday - The fares that are currently below £2 will remain the same. Thanks very much bmmoboy ! That's one or two extra visits for me, to Malvern (including the Nags Head), but as Diamond are not participating ( - thanks Tim) one or two LESS visits to the Old Bull,...

Great photo, thanks bmmoboy !

There's a "new" training vehicle on the patch at WR today, - in different colour scheme to our allocated one. It MIGHT be 66942 of Bath, and does appear to me to be in the same livery as the West of England trainers, - so this might be the very first sign of WR belonging to a new regional management...

Starting in January, for 3 months, fares across the County (and Country) will be pegged at £2.00 per single fare. So you go from Worcester to Catshill, Evesham or Malvern for £2. This was originally going to be available within the City boundary. If this initiative is successful, plans will be made...

https://www.firstbus.co.uk/worcestershire/tickets/new-tickets-more-choice I haven't studied this yet, but I hope it helps the revival of bus travel , and addresses some of our concerns, such as £7.50 between Lower Wick and Malvern Link Co-op and back ?? Also, - does "tapping-off" cause people to dro...
