Has anyone seen 66695/97 anywhere recently, please ?

They are still not listed in the tracking service's fleet list.
.... and is 67652 at WR for engine work ??

(I will not be able to look for them at the garage or bus station for a few days).

No, as suspected the reading on the tracking program is a ticket machine error. I believe 67639 is still at Worcester and is now up and running, so should be going home any time now.

Unfortunately, 67652 isn't here at Worcester and hasn't been since it transferred to PMT. The fact it's been 'spotted' here is nothing more than a technical anomaly.

66697 is currently off the road with severe engine issues and is the current 'big project' now that 67639 is moving under its own power once again.

As for 66695, I really don't know where this is. I haven't actually seen or driven this since well before Christmas; as it was often suspended on an inspection ramp! My assumption would that it has been sent away for it's 'gimmicks' to be thoroughly inspected and corrected.

66695 is apparently back in service, as it has been added to the bottom of the bustimes.org active fleet list.

A vehicle claiming to be 66697 is now listed on the bustimes system, and shown to be operating the 363 today ( -- including the "GPS trace"), -- -- and I believe it :D
