I am seeing a lot of significant late running on the bustimes tracker, ( - especially at the AM peak) so if that info shown is correct, I think some further timetable changes will be needed, or at least one more vehicle and driver injected into the bus graph !! Maybe some improvement will happen nex...

Thanks Tim ! The photo of 35156 is interesting to me, -- it's showing St.Peters as the destination instead of Bevere -- This afternoon on the bustimes tracker for 35156 it does not show that it went on to do the PM S23, - until you click on the 17.31 working of the 30, - then map, - and this shows t...

Apparently 47442 was taken down south, in exchange !!

47416 has been added to WR's list on bustimes, - from Taunton.

This confirms a post that was on facebook, and makes it likely we will get 47415 also.

More streetdecks instead?

Probably just 35152, 68 which are already at WR garage, and shown on the bustimes.org list of WR vehicles, albeit with Abbey Lane shown still as the depot.

IF they enter service at WR, that will gives us 35152-59, + 68 which is 9 StreetDecks
+ 32644.

Thanks Tim.
This is a new use of DDs in the afternoon -- it goes on to to do the S23 next, -- so possibly via the Northern link road (?) -- I will have to go and check, - unless someone can confirm !!

Interesting ! - thanks Adam.V I can't find any mention of it ANYWHERE -- my GUESS is it was a proposed service that didn't get "signed-off", but somehow the info got as far as the online timetable you have posted us (??) Other GUESSes are it might get done as a closed contract by First or ...

On bustimes.org (!) - the operating unit for 35168 has been changed from First Worcestershire, to First Bristol, Bath, and the West.

That's a real disappointment to me ! ( Sad, aren't I )

A Leicester branded Streetdeck was observed on suspended tow heading south on the M5 by J5 earlier - Worcester bound ?? ?? Smart tow truck too. :x Interesting info, thanks Andrew !! Of course by now someone at First may have conceded that it's too risky to send them long distances under their own s...

Of interest, is that the last bus from Worcester to Malvern still remains as early as 17.38 (M-F) despite our new management !!
