32646 on morning 32S

Post by TimBrown » 08:47 Thursday 6th October 2022

Around the time that Worcester garage received 32646 in November 2020, long-time contributor to this forum Mr DD12 set me a task of photographing the Leicester heritage liveried bus working the 37 along Grange Avenue, which of course is no longer possible as First were unable to make it pay and withdrew the route altogether in August this year. However, I managed a photo this morning, Thursday 6 October 2022, of 32646 working First Bus Worcester's idea of providing a service, that is the weekday twice daily, but only in school term, 32S 'cherry-pickers special'.

Meanwhile the continuing repercussions of yesterday's rail strike means many early morning trains between Kidderminster and Worcester have been cancelled and the first two Diamond Bus 303 services have been well loaded in both directions!

Thanks Tim, -- I didn't expect it to still be in Leicester livery nearly two years-on, -- perhaps First have been waiting for you !!

I hope that in another two years time, we will have some smarter DDs, but reliability is crucial for Worcester, - and I appreciate the view from the big upstairs windows of a Gemini !!
