Re: Visiting Buses at Worcester

Yes, it is a runner but not very well. Stoke engineers have just about given up on it and started raiding it for parts. However, it is now at Worcester for an engine rebuild and to have all the missing parts replaced.

Re: Large Rail Contract Oct 2016 - Buses on Loan

It is looking likely, but not yet confirmed, that the three double-decks that are due on loan from Bristol will be three Enviro400s that car currently on loan to Bristol from Manchester. Looks like they will be calling in at Worcester for a few days on their way home.

Re: Midland Red DDs - Worcester area

Before the new depot in Malvern opened in 1954 there were no double-decks there as the Portland Road garage could only accommodate single-decks. When the new depot did open, the only route that required double-decks was the 144, none of their other routes used them. I have a Worcester area timetable...

Anyone know what next is going to the paint shop?
67650 is next. It was taken off the road towards the end of last week and unlike the other two, this is going to be painted at the Potteries. Let's hope they make a better job of it than they did with 53044.

Re: The 382 - Public meeting

I was under the impression they were due to stop when the school holidays start, so if that is correct they still have a few more days to run. I may be wrong.

Re: Visiting Buses at Worcester

These are in my opinion still the best vehicles we have had at Worcester. They were an absolute joy to drive. That photo of 66963 in Worcester is now over 10-years old so I guess they won't be as good as I remember them now.

Re: Large Rail Contract Oct 2016 - Buses on Loan

I am under the impression that the three from Bristol are vehicles that have been on loan from Leicester and will be calling in at Worcester on their way home. This would make them some of this years StreetDecks but our network planner, who has organised the work, told me they would be Enviro400s......

Re: The 382 - Public meeting

If the bus service was being used I could be the first in line to fight to save it. If you cast your mind back 18-months when it was totally withdrawn by Astons I was pestering First to take it on. However, it is not being used, not even a little bit. Bus compaines are not charities and if they are ...

Re: BMMO Service 422 Question

Thanks for the extra information.

I have been looking through my collection of timetables and discovered a leaflet listing a vast amount of rural services that were all withdrawn on 3rd April 1971, and Service 422 is on that list.
