Village Links vehicles

I keep seeing 66694 (Village Links) on services in + around Worcester, but I've not been about when ( and IF ) it's been on the 417.

Does anyone know if it's currently used on Village Links services at all ?

Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions

I'm wondering if there be any kind of public promotional event for the 35, or for the refurbished Mercs in general ?
….. and will all of them have retrimmed seats ?

Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions

That's a surprise, I didn't expect any of the older ones for a few weeks (at least) ! We certainly have had a lot of vehicle changes and investment, since Mr.Eggleton took the helm ! The Mercedes single-deckers have "always" been amongst the smartest (I think), and it will be great to see ...

Re: DD12 Revival

Thanks Adam, for the photo you've put on the home page, and the comment about MOT preparation work. I would be very surprised, and pleased, if an MOT test is to be done in the near future, so please keep us posted if you hear anything more ! -- -- which MOT station does FMR use now ? (Am I right in ...

Re: Worcester's DD usage.

Thanks Adam, - I forgot to acknowledge that its also possible sometimes to borrow one or two DDs from Leicester when needed.

I also admire changes, when I can see they improve efficiency.

"Sad for me" is that we will have lost all three ex-London Tridents, with none being replaced by DDs.

Re: Worcester's DD usage.

Routes and times for the S3 and S4 services to Blessed Edwards School have changed to try and even out the loadings. The S4 now starts in Fernhill Heath to take the pressure off the S2, and the S3 now runs via Millwood Drive to replace that part of the old S4 route. Thanks for that info. Adam. Link...

Re: New Coaches On Order

Many Johnson's coaches in Worcester over the last few days for the Worcester University Graduation Ceremonies at the Cathedral. I didn't get a chance to get any photos, sorry. Earlier in the week, one of them got stuck, - in All Saint's Road, where there were already roadworks closing one lane -- -...

Enviro200 44514

I see in the current fleet list, Adam, that you have this listed as "withdrawn", rather than "in store".

I believe this is the accident damaged one, and that it went to (Plaxtons ?)
for repair ?

Do you know if that repair is proceeding, or is it to be scrapped ?

Ta.

Re: New round of disposals and transfers-out.

….. Also, I have had a reply from Nigel about 33043... It seems it will be used by a homeless shelter in the Manchester area. I like that a lot ! I have intended to make various comments, (sorry !), relating to it's disposal, - one being that when I travelled on it, some months ago, the refurbished...
