Re: End of the 420?

Enhanced service again from 7th, or 8th November

https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/public ... s-travel/3

No operator listed - I'm assuming it's livening up dead running on the "Village Links" contracts.

Re: Bus service review in Worcestershire.

Of course, First represents only half of the problem in Worcester (though it could be argued to be the root cause…). Non-First routes aren’t doing well either. Doesn’t feel that long ago since there was an hourly Worcester-Bromyard bus that was average 1/4 full during the day (or half full minibus f...

Re: School service muddle !!

Possibly a typo - appears the bus from Ledbury was S64, but council says it’s now 875 from this month. Or County Hall is in Herefordshire - I don’t think either side really understood what the new boundaries were post independence in 1998..

Re: Major Service Cuts, May 2022 !!

At least on an hourly frequency it can be spaced out so it doesn’t follow the 303.

Re: ZEBRA - Zero Emission Bus Regional Area

I am shocked that the proposal / application is not for Worcester ! - I cannot fathom what the CC is thinking of :?: *If* the depot is to be relocated then it wouldn’t make sense to build in any required infrastructure until after it’s moved. I suspect this same argument may be getting used for sev...

Re: September 2021 timetables.

Well, didn’t somebody say that First might pull their services out of the bus station? Might just be the 417 and 420 left come September ;-) The proposed 32 timetable looks to be particularly useful for anyone planning on going anywhere!

Re: Smiths of Ledbory.

Whilst in Ledbury today had a look at Smith's yard and there's a banner at the front saying "coach drivers wanted". Inside he's still got the Red & White Volvo, and the remnants of the Diamond coloured Verde in the corner. Two Profile coaches also parked up - one of the Bristol airport...

Re: 2021 Arrivals and Disposals

A nice panoramic view of the garage and patch taken from Asda's car park courtesy of Bob Hemming on Monday 4 January 2021. Citaro 64048 is clearly visible and I reckon the Volvo in the foreground is 66308 if I am reading the faint fleet number above offside front wheel correctly. garage jan 4 b.jpg...

Re: 66304 & other buses in Worcester.

At just shy of 19 years old these are ever so slightly newer than the two Badgerline Nationals (905/908) transferred in in 1999. But apart from those two, not sure anything older has ever been introduced to service. Despite the age, if replacing Streetlites I’d be tempted to argue Worcester has got ...
