...Or could they be used to cover on regular stage workings ??

I'm using 35191 tonight and the ticket machine is still running a First Bristol program so it's unlikely to get used on anything else. However, it has a Worcester destination program so we can pretend to do 144 on the way home!

Tim Brown was at Bromsgrove Rail Station yesterday taking photos. He has emailed me to say he's having problems uploading these to the forum so I have added them to the main website library. The easiest way to find them is to look at "Latest Photographs" near the bottom of the main website...

As per plan, 67651 went to Potteries today to be repainted and finished 67650 returned to Worcester.

...although the wording is different.

Looks like the smashed up tow truck was being recovered by another tow truck while still connected to the bus. Is That what the truckers call a Big Toe?

We didn't get 66694 back at Worcester until about 21:30 so it took them a while to sort things out.

As posted elsewhere, I collected a bus from Adderley Green depot today and they have the same negative effect "Not in Service" as Worcester. Maybe it's a new group rule?

Yes well we had to hang around for a while as they got 67650 ready for us. Back at Worcester now and a fourth Leicester StreetDeck is here... 35189

Can be used on anything but I don't think they will be.

I'm at Adderley Green at the moment, just collecting 37158.

CORRECTION...

It was 66694 on the motorway. 66693 was in a totally unrelated accident!!

Just been talking to our drivers about it. They were mostly able to depart on time thanks to generous recovery times between trips, but journeys were very slow.

I guess it doesn't help that it was our bus involved in the crash that closed the motorway!
