32066/7 have gone to Stoke for further use, after Worcester depot did a fair bit of work on them, with 67 being MoT'd. The replacements are 2 12 plate B9 deckers from Sheffield, which are due to arrive Today (Saturday).

The 417 services on Saturdays are busy, but don’t quite warrant a double decker.

You mean that they have had 2 passengers?

42892 has bitten the dust, due to chassis corrosion.

In its place, 43876 (MX56HYP) has arrived from Stoke as its replacement. It will need some attention before entering service as the back is covered in oil. It might be an engine swap with 42892, MechWR26 will sort it!!

The timetables have been updated today, and now appear to be complete. However the 144 still has a 1hr 55 minute journey time.

I think that incomplete timetables have been published in error. Basically they are what are operated currently. The 144 for example still has a 4 hour round trip, this is to be reduced to be more akin to what the timetable was pre-covid. I will investigate when I go back to work on Thursday.

6015 is due to leave mid-morning on Saturday 14th August, returning to BaMMot, not too sure of the route, the easiest being M5, M42 and A435 up to the museum.

Best get my CV updated - I might have a chance of replacing him - can't possibly do any worse!

I thought that the badges were only fitted to D11s

A bit like a Streetlite!!!!!
