ex-Worcester Solos in Hay

Post by AdamH » 23:31 Friday 26th May 2017

Last year I spotted ex-Worcester Vario 52506 working in Hay-on-Wye, this year it has been replaced by ex-Worcester Solo 53045. Still in FirstGroup Barbie livery too!

Not been able to get a photograph yet, but I'm working on it.

Also seen two ex-NatEx West Midlands Solos and an ex-WCC "Woosh" Solo, all still in their original operator's livery.

Now seen 3 ex-First Solos in Hay. Two are in Barbie livery and the third in Urban1 livery.

Just seen the Urban1 vehicle up close. It's ex-Worcester 53046.

Still no joy with the photos as I've been driving every time I've seen them.

Well done. I wouldn't have a chance of getting all of those being a driver as I don't get enough break time in Hay to wait for them all to appear.

Thanks for sharing.

Managed to get a photo of 53045 today (Link) but didn't see 53046 at all, so I guess it wasn't being used.

Thanks Adam for the photographs of the variety of buses used at Hay and the First Bus Worcester vehicles working to and from Hay, Hereford and Worcester. Interesting to see a StreetLite Max making the trip!
