This coach is currently parked in the "withdrawn corner", and has been removed from the tracker list.
I will not be surprised if it's permanently withdrawn from WR, as my impression is our pair of coaches have had little work (?) other than the S55, which needs one per day.
However, it will be interesting to see what vehicle is used on the S55 when 20612 is unavailable -- -- does anyone know if any of 66691 - 95, 99, have seatbelts ??

Re: 20611
Do Worcester still run the S55? I’m sure someone said it was withdrawn from the end of last term.

Re: 20611
If the school service is run as a contract issued by Worcestershire County Council it is probably written into the contract that a vehicle with seatbelts must be used. This is WCC policy so most are. If the service is run commercially then it is up the the operator what vehicle they use.
Re: 20611
Just to clarify the situation. The requirement for seat belts is in the Public Service Vehicle Regulations 2000.
There is an exemption for close door home to school services ie they are not registered as a local bus service or for rail replacement services. Government keeps extending the date vehicle have to be compliant as this will have a cost to both the rail industry and to local authorities for school service. That said many local authorities do insist on seat belts on their school services
