Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions

….. And, tying-in with the musical livery of 5 of the new Mercedes -- -- I think it's worth mentioning here that one of the most famous bus images of all time, is the ex-Worcester D7 - 4111 THA111, repainted for the album cover of The Who's "Magic Bus" L.P. I see that Adam has not included...

Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions

Nice to see the "old Worcestershire" (UY) trade plate -- -- does anyone know how long this has been used by WR garage please ? Also, I really like the sophisticated shade of red for the rears, I think it complements the cerise very well -- -- I would describe it as a purply blackcurrant wi...

Re: Stolen Bus!

I hope First will "up" the security at the depot ( - there's a "very valuable" old bus inside !)

There are very often, unsavoury characters who gather at the canal footbridge
at the end of Padmore Street.

Re: Worcester Crowngate bus station 17 November 2018

I had to wait 'til I was 21 to get my PSV licence, cos that was the law then ! -- and they used to expire if you didn't do enough hours, or any hours, over a period ( - I forget the details !) When I was 12, I had a dream ( IE - a nocturnal dream ), that was very realistic, that I was having my firs...

Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions

….. but it does look well built and the interior has been refurbished to a very good standard. Assuming that this was 64016 that you are talking about - bmmoboy - the implication is that Worcester could have some 20 year old buses running around in 5 years time ! - I've got no problem with that -- ...

However... The 481 to Cheltenham on Mondays is doing very well so expect it to make a return one day a week soon (There has been standing passengers recently, so a larger vehicle is needed).
Love it ! :)
