...Wouldn't it be nice if Worcester did something similar...

Has nobody noticed the little "wink" emoji at the end?

That wink sounds interesting Adam !!

They should be busy, anyone with any sense would jump at the chance to get out of Stoke

What about a day trip from the Worcester area to Alton Towers, then use the same vehicle to give the Stoke-onians a day trip to Worcester and Malvern ?

Time to get one of the CM6's off the patch outside and run some trips down the M5 / A30 to Cornwall for a day out. Oh, sorry, we (or more accurately our predecessors) bought the best one in August 1975..............Happy Days How about providing us with a "computer simulation" of a double...

The road works at New Road should be finished by the time the Southern Link road is closed, it is due to finish over the weekend

Yes, thanks bmmoboy, I've just seen the Worcester News article about it.
(When I went past it very recently, - I would have said - - "No Way !" ).

I happen to think that good DD training - right from the start (for DD operators), is a very important part of the safety regime for the driving and operation of them, (and it seems that some of the top people at First are now seeing dedicated double-decker training vehicles as important), - and I'v...

"Where did THAT 15 years go ??" -- I think the Solo was a brilliant "re-design" of the van derived minibuses of the 1980s and 1990s, and it has proven itself durable. I wish that today's operators were buying a lot more of them (in a reliable, durable, low-emissions format), and ...

I've got eight fingers on my hand

-- very useful for a bus driver !

-- don't let the management know -- they'll use you for breeding or cloning
purposes !!

I think these systems are under-developed and have been rushed to the market before they are ready. Once they have made their sale they are more interested in moving on the the next sale, rather than working with the operators to fix the bugs and actually providing the product/service they are clai...
