There are plans to repaint all the Citaros and Deckers into the latest fleet livery (whatever that is!) over the next few months.

There are some changes coming up to the fleet at Worcester. Firstly, the 6669x Plaxton Volvos are leaving, destination unknown, however the one with seat belts will be staying. Also, some of the Citaros are going to be withdrawn, mainly due to the poor state of the chassis, don’t know which ones yet...

Interesting to see the page dedicated to the 144 in the Daily Mail. I also thought that Thatcher’s 1986 Transport Act has had a role to play, as it heralded the start of privatisation, with firms having to make a profit to survive. It also made it illegal to subsidise loss making services with profi...

As a driver, and I can vouch for my colleagues, we are embarrassed by some of the fares that we have to charge. Over the past few months, we have had drivers from Stoke and Leicester coming to help out at times of shortages, and they say that Worcester's fares are considerably higher that the garage...

Incompetence.

The Phrase "piss up in a brewery" comes to mind.

64033 was on the 1320 to Birmingham, and the 1820 one as well, I took it out on the first part of the card at 0630 empty to Catshill then back in service. There are 12 Salt Road vehicles, of which 9 are needed to run the 144/144A services, however, 6 were off the road this morning for servicing, so ...

The last Malvern runs at 18.00 and goes to Morrisons only - absolute madness!

There doesn’t appear to be any 31’s or 37’s. The last bus to Malvern leaves Crowngate at 18.00 and only goes to Morrisons. The last bus to Droitwich and Bromsgrove departs at 18.00. Doesn’t look like I’ll be doing many late finishes now!

One of the Streetlites is to be painted in Queens Platinum Jubilee livery shortly. I've seen the proposed livery, and it is rather uninspiring, basically being normal new livery, with a couple of extra lines in Purple. Don't know which vehicle it is going to be, but they had better geta move on, as ...

I have it on very good authority that repaints are to recommence shortly. Surprisingly enough, the first recipients of a new coat of paint, are expected to be 32644-6, this comes as a surprise as they are 18 years old. I don't know what livery they will be outshopped in, but hopefully, we might get ...
