I drove 64034 on Tuesday and it was a pleasure to drive. Having done 953,000km (around 620,000 miles), it rattled far less than a StreetDeck with 180,000 miles on the clock. With the wood effect flooring, I heard several passengers say "Ooh look, we have got a new bus with a wooden floor - lovely". The luggage racks are still in place, thus reducing seating capacity by 3 or 4 seats, not sure when these will be removed. I think that the spa livery should be as 64034 or 38, but with the front painted a bright red (not that magenta crap like the rest of the fleet)
Something like the Potteries 'Cherry routes' livery...

Yes - I think that would be a much better livery

Possibly 37668? For Swansea - which has the same seats. The older B9 Geminis are pretty solid and with a refurb would be a step up on the Streetdecks. I had expected B9s to replace the streetdecks by now, just guess the Geminis are more popular with everyone else too.

This livery might be more acceptable (it is certainly bright).This is the training livery from up north

I would guess that 33401/02/03/04/05 possibly won`t be departing Worcester anytime soon due to the current situation?
And most probaly out of use and parked up in the corner on the patch
