Streetdecks

Post by marck » 15:12 Tuesday 5th July 2022

Is it my imagination or has all the streetdecks lost their Worcester city branding? Are they getting a repaint or new decals I wonder?

I think most of them have lost their Malverns branding (35157 did ages ago),

although about a week ago I saw one had still got a Malverns logo.

Looks as though Sheffield City Council is initiating a Clean Air Zone very soon if this article is correct which is one reason for the expected transfer;

Does it also mean that WR will eventually lose the remaining two Streetdecks to other parts of the First Bus empire because Worcester put off it's CAZ plans indefinitely? Would I be wrong to assume that some of the existing school work necessitating 'deckers is being dropped after the summer holidays?

I expect that Worcester will get some more Volvo deckers in exchange from Sheffield, which in my opinion, would be better as the Volvos are far superior to Streetdecks.
