Re: The 382 - Public meeting
The Eckington to Pershore section of the route certainly carries more passengers and sometimes they continue to Worcester, although I have heard it said many times that they feel it takes too long. This is part of the reason the short journey linked to the 551 was added as it cuts the journey time d...

Re: Possible Non-Runners (?)
...Did you pick up any on the 17.05 "downhill" today Adam?... No, I was about ten minutes late by the time I got to St. Peter's thanks to the terrible traffic light timing at the end of City Walls Road and the bottom of Bath Road which only lets one or two vehicles through at a time. As a...

Re: Possible Non-Runners (?)
DD12, you will be pleased to know I managed to run the 1645 Service 32 spot on time today, and I have "Red Midland" as my witness! For reasons unknown the passenger numbers from the school were down about one-third today, and my bus 33403 which is a fine and noble steed capable of a steady...

Re: New bus for DRM Bus
It is rather uninspiring. I'm wondering if the vehicle is leased and not bought?

Preserved Whittles Darts
I spoke with MattB the other day and he tells me he has just agreed to buy two ex-Whittles Darts for the Wyvern Bus Preservation Group. I can't remember any more details at the moment... Hopefully he can post some info for us.

Re: 363 via motorway
The road closure overran tonight so both the evening buses had to run via the motorway. Luckily I had 67699 on the 1750 journey so I wasn't restricted to 50mph and almost managed to keep on time.
In theory, everything should be back to normal tomorrow.

Re: Aircraft at (Showbus), I.W.M. Duxford 2014
Dare I say... I enjoyed the aircraft more than the buses that year! I know very little about them but they were much more interesting.

Re: New bus for DRM Bus
Still haven't seen this but I'm told it is now in service. Unusually for DRM it is still on overall white livery, but with the normal DRM random route advertising all over. Maybe they have run out of purple paint in Bromyard?

Re: The 382
What are you going to do, chuck rotten fruit? :lol: Well if Nigel gets some silly idea about getting us to run around in a bus that nobody uses I may be forced to bounce a tomato or two off his head :lol: I ran a 382 today and even though their choice of bus has been reduced I still had only two pe...
