A summary of revisions is now on the First Worcestershire website, but no timetables yet.
The 30 and the 35 which currently are mainly worked together as one (I believe) are to become a cross-city service (again ?)
I would like to see a professional detailed analysis, comparing everything about these two ways of doing it (in Worcester with frequent jam-ups) :

I was told timetables should be ready by the end of this week.
Also, a handful of newer buses for Worcester are on the horizon.

They will be 'newer' 16 plates then . . . . . . LOL.

I saw some ex First Bristol double deck buses head north on the M5 last week but they were Volvo /Wrights.

From my understanding they will be under 5 years old... but not by much!

Assume whatever is coming will be ADL products, but are these rumoured to replace single-deckers or double-deckers does anyone know?
