Are the 'new' Darts on any particular route, or is it just pot luck?

I think they are just pot luck at the moment. Maybe someone can correct me on that.

Well this morning I saw our very Red Midland piloting the first service back from Tewkesbury at Ryall, I'm not sure which Dart it was but the driver was certainly looking to be enjoying himself behind his Aviator shades! 8-)

42893 is currently in the bodyshop having the front end rubbed down ready for repaint - surely this won't being leaving Worcester if it is painted in depot colours

Any news on the "new" coaches yet ?? :)
Rumour in the canteen that the deal has fallen through. I'll try and find a more reliable source to confirm if this is true or not.
Thanks, do vehicles have to be sourced from within the First group ?? :| Or could they be acquired from independent dealers ?? [ excluding PVS Ltd of course ]. :lol:

I have seen "MUV" on the 144 a couple of times recently.

I'm not sure. I'd imagine it would be easier to buy within the group but I don't think they are forced to. So if you know of two suitable coaches, Worcester depot are in the market... :lol:
