Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints

Just spotted 53207 in Urban2 livery with Worcester branding being driven by an engineer. That's interesting -- I expected it to have Village Links branding. Now that the DRIVERS rota for the Herefs. work is mixed-in with Upton and Pershore and 44s, and some city work, - does that mean that the more...

Re: Autumn 2018 service changes/cuts

I would like to see more double deckers in use - perhaps you can persuade Network Rail to raise the bridges at The Chequers, Tolladine Road and Newtown Road, your wish might come true. Apparently, the city council wants to redevelop the Shrub Hill area (including the bus depot), and bearing in mind...

Re: Autumn 2018 service changes/cuts

Probably. But why would you want to? I want FMR to be able to use their DDs in as many places as possible -- I would not like it, IF, during a future reorganisation of the Upton area services, a county councillor wanted to provide a subsidy for a ROUTE that prevented the use of a DD which happened ...

Re: Autumn 2018 service changes/cuts

...I have a 373 later so I’ll be saying goodbye to the Graftons for the last time! Or maybe not. I have now discovered the Council are paying for certain Service 363 journeys to run via The Graftons. Oh joy! 😒 Can a double-decker be used on the Graftons section Adam ?? (IE regardless of how few pas...

FLEET LIST and changes.

Now that Adam is no longer able to keep us up to date, I thought I'd provide a couple of links that will help :- http://www.ukbuses.co.uk/fleet/firstmidlands.pdf

Has WX59BZO got onto the route yet ? :shock:
Apparently it has come down from Thorntons, - but it might be in Birmingham, having work done -- or in Worcester garage ??

Re: Autumn 2018 service changes/cuts

I was very surprised today, to see on the First website, a further change to the 363 from September 30th !! If my reading is correct, the (mon-fri) 10.55 from Upton to Worcester is replaced by one at 11.30. However, it appears to be the 363 that still arrives at Ryall at 10.50, same as now, but it w...

Re: Progress !

I like the new timetable booklets for the "50's" and "the Malverns" with their improved layouts / detailing. I also like the latest graphics above the bus shelters in Crowngate which were installed before the start of the revised services. 66698 + 99 look much better now they've ...
