Yes, well, - that was a bit subtle ! -
but that feature on the home page takes-on a whole new meaning now ! - subject to confirmation, that is.
Thanks Rich; - all very interesting and unexpected !
Great to hear that First have won additional work, it sounds as if this is at the expense of Astons Coaches and maybe DRM. As far as I can see, DRM only run the 420/476/672. Running the 417 and 675 Worcester-Ledbury and Ledbury-Great Malvern is a good chance to build presence.
Thanks for the helpful info as ever Adam!AdamH wrote: ↑23:04 Tuesday 8th August 2017As Herefordshire Council have been slow to announce the results of the tendering they may choose to waver the normal notice period and start the work from September. This would make sense as some of the work is a schools contract and it would not be a good idea to change operator partway into the school term.
I don't know if this will happen, but if the normal notice period applies the changes wont happen until the second week in October at the earliest.
Thanks for the info Adam! Makes good sense to use seatbelts from the Volvo coach which is coming up to 19 years old and is, I presume, unlikely to see service again. I guess it's useful for spare parts for the other Volvo coach too! Also good that it means the Solos will be around a while yet! Did anything ever come of the rumour about more modern coaches at Worcester?AdamH wrote: ↑13:29 Wednesday 9th August 2017Some school routes are in the contract but I don't know the route numbers yet. One of them, Ledbury to Much Marcle, will require a Solo to be fitted with seat belts (two are being done so there is a spare). They will almost certain get these from the withdrawn Volvo Coach.
