A somewhat grimier 20178 appeared again on the 303 today, Wednesday 11 October 2023, and is pictured working the 12-30 service from Worcester Crowngate bus station to Kidderminster.

Quite a large area of the canopy underside was painted last Sunday 01 October 2023, prior to fitting the new glass panels between the fixed wooden roof and station buildings. This photo taken at the North end of platform 1 shows the Victorian canopy with some of the roof support beams painted white,...

Something a little different on the 12-30 pm 303 from Worcester Crowngate bus station to Kidderminster in the form of Optare Versa 30969 Reg. No. YJ57 XVX with B37F bodywork, new to Burnley & Pendle as their 260 in February 2008. Strangely, Bustimes website is showing its last time in service as...

The last remaining serviceable Volvo double-decker at Worcester, 32644 worked the 32S this morning, a wet and gloomy Tuesday 26 September 2023. This bus must be very near the end of its life at WR and facing withdrawal in the next few weeks?

This morning, Friday 22 September 2023, ex Leicester 'Frequent Fourteens' 35168 ventured out on to the 32S for the first time since being transferred to Worcester, though I noted on Bustimes website it was out on service yesterday afternoon on 45's and 144. It still carries a large vinyl 14 on the o...

Ex Leicester 'Frequent Fourteens' Streetdeck 35153 worked the 32S this morning Tuesday 19 September 2023.

More dismantling of the canopy over platform 2 carried out recently with removal of the glass sections of the roof, these were installed at the time of completion of restoration of the cast iron Victorian waiting room almost eight years ago to the date. Note the peeling paint and general poor condit...

36241 departed for sunny Weston-Super-Mare today, Friday. I didn't expect that news as 36241 photographed in the mist yesterday morning, Friday 15 September 2023, on the 32S along Grange Avenue and, by a stroke of luck, my camera managed to pick up the elusive destination of its final turn in Worce...

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 ...
