Latest gossip is that the 'Scottish' Streetlites are heading to 'Bristol' and Bristol are sending some of theirs up to Worcester. Not sure what the logic would be with these transfers but hey , we are talking First Bus . . . . . . . . :lol:

. Time to look for a new job.
Not volunteering to go to Scotland to collect them then I guess ?? LOL. ;)
Looks like the York option is the correct one. Unless some of the recent arrivals move on like some of the d/d's did. The people who compile fleet lists must have plenty of resolve.

I've noticed we're getting the shorter Streetlites shouldn't we get the longer ones to compensate for the citaros? Not an expert here but wouldn't they hold more people?

The lack of capacity has been noted by the commercial department, so we should be receiving some StreetMax’s to replace some of the Citaros. No idea where from, but it has been muted that we are to receive some of the ones that we had new in 2015 which have been at Leicester since their transfer from Worcester.

Leicester no longer have the 65 plate Streetlites, they were replaced by GB Kites & have since moved on to First Potteries.

Worcester appear to have received 47446 again, this was the vehicle which came from Bath, and lasted only a few days before being sent back to the West Country.
