Which could replace all the "54" plate vehicles + two older d/d's ?? :cry: There are 15 of the 54-reg Enviros at Worcester at the moment... 67650-67664 inc. Will the 59 reg B7L single-decks be replaced at Leicester by new buses, or will there be a further 'merry-go-round' of old and new b...

I'm not a train person so this may be an obvious question to some... Sat at Hereford Rail Station waiting to operate the 1430 to Hay-on-Wye, and a very smart looking train made up of brown "Pullman" coaches passed through the station without stopping. There was a Diesel engine each end wi...

Managed to get a photo of 53045 today ( Link ) but didn't see 53046 at all, so I guess it wasn't being used. Thanks Adam for the photographs of the variety of buses used at Hay and the First Bus Worcester vehicles working to and from Hay, Hereford and Worcester. Interesting to see a StreetLite Max ...

CFK 340 is an AEC Regal III with Burlingham C33F bodywork new 05/48 to Burnham's Coaches, Worcester. It has a 7.7 litre engine and ran very well despite the torrential rain and flash floods. NTU 125 is a Foden PVRF6 with Metalcraft C41C bodywork new 05/51 to Hollinshead Coaches, Scholar Green. It is...

Wonderful stuff. How do you find out when these things run? I always miss them! Thanks Matt, hope the following answers your query! Sometimes I receive advance notice from other enthusiasts, but much of the time it is from Realtimes trains website which I normally have a look at early each morning ...

Seen photos on social media of yet another Diamond Bus on fire, taken yesterday I believe. No idea when, what or where so can anyone fill in details? It was on Monday afternoon involving Plaxton Centro MAN 30803 - BU08DBO apparently it was on a 2L to Ludlow. The attached link to The Kidderminster S...

Today saw a movement of heritage locomotives from The Severn Valley, Kidderminster via Worcester to Washwood Heath and then to Peterborough for The Nene Valley Railway. I didn't know what to expect but was rewarded with the attached pictures. Deltic locomotive 55018 'Ballymoss' is in reality 55022 (...

Memories of what we had nine years ago. Seven years of successful operation by First Midland Red then it was taken over by Worcestershire County Council in 2008 as Woosh and subsequently closed down on 1 September 2014 because it allegedly cost too much to run. Since then, car parking charges at a m...

I know little about trains, but I imagine that must have been one hell of a load to require all of those! :lol: Are these all "Preserved" trains? The two leading locomotives 20189 and 20205 are mainline certified and are doing the work of hauling the consist to Kidderminster for the forth...
