Ex First MX06AEB noted on the Charfords today could this spell the end for the infamous PEZ ??

Was driving down the Worcester Road and could see an E300 on a 144/A at the stop by the Court Leet pub and could see something a bit strange behind.A bit surprised to see 99 on the display as I got closer.
Coming home several hours later down Rock Hill saw it again but a bit far away as it turned into Charford Road.Looked like it had some sort of writing on the side a rear.Livery mostly white with a bit of pale blue.
Did a quick image search to see it was an ex First vehicle.

There look to be plenty of pictures on Flickr. Last operated by First at Bath, then to Somerbus as a dealer,then to Gard of Ringwood for use on a town service in Ringwood. Will have to have a look for it next time I venture into Bromsgrove.SEVERNLINK wrote: ↑00:27 Monday 24th July 2017Did a quick image search to see it was an ex First vehicle.

Didn't venture out myself today otherwise would've looked out for it again in case it was a one off and just borrowed from somewhere.Will certainly miss seeing 'PEZ' around town if this is the end of the road for itANDREW wrote: ↑13:40 Monday 24th July 2017There look to be plenty of pictures on Flickr.

My IMPRESSION is that the Primos are so rough-running (unreliable??) that operators are passing them around like hot potatoes -SEVERNLINK wrote: ↑21:26 Monday 24th July 2017Didn't venture out myself today otherwise would've looked out for it again in case it was a one off and just borrowed from somewhere.Will certainly miss seeing 'PEZ' around town if this is the end of the road for it
someone might be well-advised to hang onto PEZ !

It is a Wheeler/Clearway vehicle as confirmed by legal lettering earlier. It appears to be in reasonable nick , squeaking brakes and vibrations when on tick-over can apply to a large % of buses. No sign on any "smoke" when pulling away so lets see how many years they get out of the bus - not as many as "PEZ" for sure !

I have no knowledge of their attributes - I just think they look cute!
