Re: More B****y Streetlites
You know reading both of your reported problems, I wonder why representation wasn't made to management via the union and if it was why something hasn't been done to rectify the obvious problems.

Re: More B****y Streetlites
Another 4 Streetlites were collected from Bradford on Tuesday. 47478-81 have appeared. I realise from recent comments that these Streetlites are not popular with drivers, but they are a more environmentally friendly Euro5 emission rating than the Citaros, which kick out black smoke when pulling awa...

32644 on 32S service.
I thought I was seeing things yesterday when driving my car along City Walls Road and 32644 passed the other way on a return 45 service. I had assumed this bus was withdrawn at end of October 2023, but then remembered that 32152 is still off the road (or never been on the road since arriving on Padm...

Re: Money for WCCC bus services
A friend of mine who doesn't drive, but has a bus pass said, tongue in cheek, when Worcestershire receives this money will I be able to have a pint in the City and come home on a late bus?
