There appear to be two Tridents on 44's at the moment, 33401 and 33403


It has been a "most eccentric day" -- -- I have just "achieved an ambition" by riding a DD on the 417 -- -- 32067, driven carefully through the trees at Cradley, by the old stalwart Mick Mansfield !
If this is repeated in the next few days, or in the summer, I recommend it for the Cradley section which is very narrow, winding, and rustic -- only don't sit too close to the front upstairs (just in case).
I'd like 32066 + 67 to be regulars on there for a year or two to knock-down a few of the branches, but a couple of the trees really need surgery or removal !!

The tracker system is showing 67652 is at Worcester and that it operated a service 33 at 9:25 this morning... :?
Thanks for flagging that up willr7, I might have not noticed that for a day or two.

I wonder if one of our withdrawn darts has gone in the opposite direction ??

I wonder if the ticket machine that used to be on the E300 has been fitted to another vehicle without being reprogrammed. Maybe search for that vehicle at Potteries to see if there are two of them.

Yes, thanks Adam -- -- 67652 is still shown with Potteries by the tracking service, but apparently last used on the 15th.

Maybe it's back for some repair work with our brilliant mechanics!

I think that is likely, as the GPS only seems to show it as moving around the depot (Even though it said it was running a service 33)

When I got home yesterday, I discovered that the tracking service showed a "trace" of 32067 having gone between Bromyard and Worcester at some time yesterday (Wednesday), but there's no no other info to support that -- -- it looks like it might have done an early morning 420 before going on to do the 417, and again the 420 is one of the routes which have been "out of bounds" to double-deckers because of trees (at Whitbourne).

If any of our driver members could ask Mick Mansfield if he took the DD on the 420, or ask an admin guy, I'd be grateful -- -- I'd love to see the east Herefordshire network opened-up to Worcester DDs, including extra schools work.

It’s nice to see that the tracking system fleetlist for First Worcestershire has been updated so it now shows all the vehicles liveries/branding and some of the vehicle types. :D

I have just noticed that 2 of the Plaxton centro’s are still missing off the tracker (66695 & 66697) which is a bit odd...

The latest odd thing to appear on the tracker is that apparently one of the training vehicles was used on the 35 at 13:30 yesterday (18th March)... :? :lol:
