This photograph was taken by Bob Hemming through the locked gates of the 'patch' on Friday 3 September 2021 with 36241 and 36242 showing contrast between earlier style Gemini 32646.

We were expecting them to be out yesterday, probably on 30's, so if there is any problems they could be found before Monday morning! I've got Hanley Castle schools this week so I probably won't get a drive (then I'm on holiday for three weeks so I won't be able to report on what they are like.

I'd love Double-Decker loadings to return to the 363 / 365, but they had diminished to single-deckers only, even before the pandemic ! :(

I went into the City centre at 08-30 am this morning Monday 6 September 2021 and had some time on my hands before the pharmacy opened and more by luck than judgement managed these shots of Worcester garage's latest acquisitions working into Crowngate bus station.

They had worked in on the S1 and S2 from Droitwich.

As previously stated, it would have been advantageous to have used the pair on Saturday as neither would start at Padmore Street today!!!!!

Unless they've been upgraded then no. They are most likely Euro 5 vehicles :)
