32646

Post by ANDREW » 11:29 Wednesday 2nd December 2020

I thought this bus deserved it's own thread so lets make a start. As far as I can ascertain , this bus is coming to Worcester , via Potteries [and some maintenance work] from Leicester. It carries a commemorative Leicester City Transport livery . It has been used in service by Potteries over the last couple of days. Just to add to the interest , having just looked at the First Potteries thread on Tony Hunters bus forum , some one "in the know" has quoted someone called "Nigel" as saying "the vehicle [32646] will NOT get a repaint but may get some wrap around vinyl's ". We await with interest . :)

Perhaps it will be a "Thank you NHS" tribute bus ??

Whatever happens, I hope it wont obscure the windows !!

At this time of year First Bus have operated a 'Christmas Bus' in Leicester, Stoke-on-Trent and Worcester - that might be a possibility for 32646! Hope it isn't a 'Vape' overall vinyl similar to the horrible Johnsons Scania single deck bus seen occasionally in Worcester on the 150A to Redditch/Birmingham.

Does anyone know if 32646 is still coming to Worcester, and if so, will it be in standard livery or a 'special' vinyl wrap?

Will Worcester's 33404 heritage liveried Trident be going to Essex as previously reported and is this bus being prepared for a livery change as I haven't seen it out and about recently?

It's been inside the garage for some time Tim, - with a dark, dirty hole at the back (- IE - the engine bay), and yesterday, when I was on Aldi's car park, it was in what is sometimes referred-to as the body-shop, and, - from a distance, it LOOKED LIKE a JCB digger was being used to lift-up an engine at it's rear !!!

However, there is some "site work" being done, so that could have been a whacky illusion !!!

Which Trident has it replaced?
Has 33404 gone to Essex or for scrap?

33404 was still in the garage on Tuesday undergoing repair, unfortunately I have no details as what the problem is, but it has been there for several weeks.

It has been moved onto the First Worcestershire fleet list, but has not been tracked since it was last used in service at Potteries.
