Re: 144 Route.
From a driver's perspective, and after a thorough study of the forthcoming schedule for this service, I happen to be rather pleased that essentially every journey has its own variant for 'Schooldays' and 'School Holidays'. Running times, particularly between Bromsgrove and Birmingham, differ rather ...

Re: FMR: Tridents Going to Kernow?
I was in conversation with a despatch clerk at the 'WMT30' event on Sunday and he informed me that now only 33039 (LN51DWD) is destined for transfer. I can't seem to be able to find a definitive answer over the allocation of these vehicles at Worcester... Anyhow, here's 33039 taking in the morning s...

Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
Work has commenced in the body shop at Worcester on Enviro 67647 (VX54MTF) in preparation for repaint into FirstGroup's 'Urban2' livery.
I think I have just found my candidate for Showbus this year.

Re: FMR Fleet Movements
...is probably the best one. Now you may have to ensure you're already sitting down whilst you read this as I am about to make a criticism of what are otherwise outright my favourite vehicles in the fleet, however 67642 is my least favourite of the 'standard' Enviro300's and I won't be particularly...

Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
How is my old favourite 8-) This has had its drivers' seat re-padded recently, so its currently my favourite example to drive as I can sit higher. 8-) My biggest gripe about these vehicles is the drivers' seat. I prefer a high, commanding driving position and this can be a struggle to achieve in th...

Re: April 2016 Service Changes
I’m wondering if drivers are still regularly going the wrong way... I've had difficulty stopping myself from turning left at the top of Parkland Road since I started driving, but yet to do it! I was however confronted at the Green Lane terminus recently. Apparently this passenger had never been alo...

Re: Withdrawn Coach 20201
I guess they are just using whatever full-size bus they can instead? Indeed. We're coping at the moment through the substitution of the coach with the Volvos, although as many as three can potentially be required during the morning run-out for use on school services if we're really unlucky. I belie...

Re: Ex-First Enviro Withdrawn
I did miss a photograph opportunity a few weeks ago That's a shame. :cry: My opportunities are similarly hindered. I've been meaning to catch up with 67644 and the three Darts, too. What initially alerted me to it was the driver mistakenly attempting to start it straight off the ignition switch, mu...

Re: Ex-First Enviro Withdrawn
I thought I hadn't encountered this for some time.
I believe that Diamond 30935 (VX54MTE), ex-First Midland Red 67646, is now allocated to Kidderminster as it is, much to my approval, a common sight on Service 303.
