FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
I see them occasionally out here in the sticks. I keep meaning to make a Saturday foray into Worcester to see them all but I always seemed to be tied up with old cars of late!
I was in Worcester this last Bank Holiday Monday though and there seemed quite a lot of services running.

Just drove past 67664, and we were both doing about 30, so I couldnt get a close look at it, - but it looked pretty good with it's Midland Red fleet names restored to the sides and rear.
- That should please some on here !

Spotted it in the depot this morning with them fitted. Not sure when they were done because I've been on holiday, but I agree it looks miles better.

My guess is they may look a little bit like this...Reece S wrote: ↑00:18 Monday 25th September 2017Was flicking though Facebook yesterday evening and come across some side shots of one of the newly refurbished Volvo B7RLE at Thorntons yard in a two tone green variation of the Urban 2 livery looks really impressive similar greens to those used in the Buses of Somerset livery. Just a shame they couldn't of gone for a modern twist on the MRW Red and Cream instead but still.
I might be wrong on this bit but from what I can make out on the pictures I have seen the seats have been retrimmed in half leather as the headrests look like light green leather.
Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
Noted this morning, some buses have had their “First” stickers removed and replaced by “Worcester City” branding. 53062 and 66698 are two I’ve seen already.
Edit: 53061 also.

Yes, just seen one of the plaxtons on service 53 with the ‘Worcester city’ branding (I didn’t realise they were going to scrap the First logos!)

( ...... not much going-on, is there )
- Big improvement compared to the previous graphics (or whatever you want to call them).

Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
Yes, I like them. However I have noticed that because the "city" is in a much lighter typeface it can't be seen from a distance and it makes the "Worcester" look off-centre.
From my observations it looks like all Solos and Volvo Plaxton Centros still in the old Barbie livery have been fitted, so that's 53047/8/50/61/2 and 66695-9. I've not seen any other vehicle type done.
