My perception is that WR is now short of DDs --
In this morning's peak period all 9 were in use on the
S1-S5; 30 ( - the 0800 dep from Crowngate ); 45; X50; and the 365 - - I assume this use of a DD today on the 365 was based on demand from scholars.
The 32S single-decker was "rammed" with school kids by the time I saw it in Sidbury, and First have already managed ( this week ) to allocate a DD for the afternoon journey.
-- I reckon we need a bare minimum of two extra DDs, -- which could be said to "replace"
33404 + 33405.
DD shortage (10/9/21) ??
Re: DD shortage (10/9/21) ??
I have requested a Decker for the 333 service from Worcester to Hanley Castle School via Kempsey, which was loaded to full capacity when I drove it on Wednesday, so it may be that a third vehicle is needed.
Re: DD shortage (10/9/21) ??
Excellent news, thanks bmmoboy !
- I believe that the HCS has a good reputation, and I think I read on Worcester News that they have added class-rooms, -- -- and with all the new housing planned south of the A4440, there should be opportunities for First to gain profitable work ( - although there a "mystery" new school to be built, - "somewhere" !! )
I have seen an Astons DD driven (empty) past St.Peters garden centre, from Norton Barracks to Kempsey via the back-roads, so I know that version of the 333 can be done !!
