20612 (still in RailAir livery) was parked on the patch today, next to our 20611.

I haven't seen 20809 for a long time, so perhaps the permanent second coach will be 20612 ?
.... and perhaps it will work the S5, Monday to Friday !?
20809 has since returned to Berkshire to operate new service RA2 between Heathrow and Guildford.

20612 is now WR according to http://www.ukbuses.co.uk/fleet/firsteastengland.pdf which has just been updated.

(it also shows 53155 as WR, but incorrectly shows 42892, 93, 94 as withdrawn).

I often send them fleet information by the given email address for fleet news to help them keep the fleet list up to date, I have informed them that the darts are back IN service but they have not changed it! :roll:

Also, are the two yellow BMC school buses Withdrawn as that is what the current fleet list on the site suggest? Only there has been no mention of them being Withdrawn but perhaps the coaches will take on the school work.

Thank you, I'll update after lunch!

First Worcester have relinquished the Yellow School Bus contract so the withdrawal of the vehicles is an assumption on my behalf.

Ahh, that would make sense, so are those the Pershore school contracts (PS14, PS16 & PS25) ?

I can't remember the contract numbers. I never drove them and my only involvement was doing the Risk Assessments when they first started, many moons ago.

I spoke with one of the yellow bus drivers recently and they were very upset the routes are not returning in September, and even more upset that they have to go back to normal service work!

PS14 and PS25 are Flyford Flavell and Bishampton to Pershore High School and Bishampton to Flyford Flavell Primary School. PS16 is Inkberrow to Pershore High School.
