Having just noticed the latest messages on the 'Expansion' thread , it looks like it will be needed in the near future then. 8-)

If Bustimes is correct , 37147 has made its Worcester 'debut' this morning after a week off. :o

After its brief use in service last week 32646 is now SORN so is no longer available for service. It is logical 37147 is now needed for service

Pictured this morning, Tuesday 28 February 2023, working along Grange Avenue on the 32S service. Light levels very low on this cloudy morning, hence the dark grainy shot.

Thanks for posting the picture. I saw 37147 yesterday evening. It looked and sounded no worse than some of the buses I have seen over the years. It looks like similar vehicle 37170 has not been used by First Cymru for a while . . . . . . . . . .

I think 37170 is unlikely to transfer as most of this batch with Cymru has already been scraped and this (10th Feb) accident damage looks enough that it is likely to be used for spared or scraped.

Probably not worth the cost of repairs to 37170 considering the age of the vehicle. Thanks for posting the photograph.
