I didn't expect that news as 36241 photographed in the mist yesterday morning, Friday 15 September 2023, on the 32S along Grange Avenue and, by a stroke of luck, my camera managed to pick up the elusive destination of its final turn in Worcester.

In addition Diamond put a somewhat cleaner bus on the 303 yesterday, Friday 15 September 2023, in form of 30821 BX09 SHZ a Volvo B7RLE with Plaxton Centro body.

This morning, Friday 22 September 2023, ex Leicester 'Frequent Fourteens' 35168 ventured out on to the 32S for the first time since being transferred to Worcester, though I noted on Bustimes website it was out on service yesterday afternoon on 45's and 144. It still carries a large vinyl 14 on the offside between decks!

Also this morning, Diamond Bus provided Streetlite 32218 Reg. No. SO65 LRK on the
07-30 303 service from Crowngate to Kidderminster.

The last remaining serviceable Volvo double-decker at Worcester, 32644 worked the 32S this morning, a wet and gloomy Tuesday 26 September 2023. This bus must be very near the end of its life at WR and facing withdrawal in the next few weeks?

Something a little different on the 12-30 pm 303 from Worcester Crowngate bus station to Kidderminster in the form of Optare Versa 30969 Reg. No. YJ57 XVX with B37F bodywork, new to Burnley & Pendle as their 260 in February 2008.

Strangely, Bustimes website is showing its last time in service as 2 August 2023 working 76B from Tamworth; anyone know what happened to it in the last two months?
