64014 seen back in service today on city route driving from the Butts/Shaw Street into Sansome Street. From my brief glimpse whilst I was sat in car waiting for traffic lights to change there didn't seem to be any trace of fire damage on offside rear; was this the bus involved in Malvern road fire?...

Interestingly , 32646 is "tracking" on the First Worcestershire Bustimes page. :!: It hasn’t been traced in service here yet. Last trace was on the 11th Nov in Leicester (on a 14A) It has been manually moved onto First Worcestershire’s fleet list as it has transferred (on paper anyway) Sh...

Maybe that's the reason. If they can stick to one type it saves a lot of money on training and parts. That seems logical. Just looked again at a fleet-list for First Essex and they have 32640/1/2. Could they come in the opposite direction ?? Oh , better check to see if they have any Citaro's ! LOL ...

Someone on facebook has posted a photo of two of our Tridents apparently on their way to Essex -- and 33401 + 3 have been removed from the tracker fleetlist for WR / FMR. I am very sad to be losing the Tridents -- my favourite buses for 16 years :cry: ( - I wish they had been going to Cornwall inst...

32644 has arrived. From what I could see, from a distance, the paintwork doesn't look too bad -- -- on one of the facebook pages, Nigel Eggleton has inferred that he doesn't feel justified in repainting 32644+45, ( - cost), - but there surely must be some modern cleaning stuff that could improve th...

Gosh! Looks like it may have been 64014...
Citaro's have always been known for the combustibility in the engine department (Am I correct?)

A touch of Salt Road livery at the rear ??

For the sister training vehicles at Leicester there is a touch of the new 'Saffron' (88s) livery too, with the big yellow front! Still, a lovely livery no matter what

One is on the patch at WR today, - repainted but devoid of any decoration. I THINK it's 66845, but I could only just see part of the registration plate. Assuming it's to stay with WR, is this the first time ever that we've got a training vehicle newer than some of our service buses ?? Also, presuma...

Here is a picture of one the new Driver Trainer B7RLEs

I don't know what is wrong with 33401.... :? But what I am wondering is that if we are are losing our 5 Tridents + 2 B7TL + 4 StreetDecks (?). We are going to need more than just 3 Geminis from Leicester to replace our fleet of 11 DDs... Will we get additional Geminis from elsewhere? (Maybe some fro...
