Looks like the StreetLite transfers have begun!
It has been reported that 63358 has entered service at Leicester today (10/12/2019)

Lets hope the rest go by the time I go back to work tomorrow!
(to be followed by the StreetLites)

If 63358 has gone what's replaced it?

I think that the Wright Streetlites/Streetlite Max have harsh rear suspension, jerky gearboxes and harsh brakes, but, and it is a big but, I put up with that because of the decent seat spacing and forward facing seats compared with the near total lack of nearside seat space on the Citaro's and the even worse rear facing seats over the back axle of these buses and lack of grab handles for elderly disabled passengers like myself.

I also reckon it is diabolical that we are losing Euro 6 spec vehicles for more polluting Euro 3, or worse, buses to use in our already heavily polluted city - definitely a backward step!

It looks as though First Hampshire & Dorset are receiving new Enviro 200MMCs for it's 'Star' services in Portsmouth. https://www.facebook.com/firstsolent/ph ... =3&theater

I guess this will allow the current 'Star' Streetlite's to transfer out. Possibly some could be sent to Slough, enabling the Citaro's to transfer to Worcester.

I was under the impression that the Citaros are already at Thorntons, awaiting refurbishment.

I heard from a member on Flickr a few months back that the Citaro's were being sent away one at a time for interior refurbishment, at that point (64030 & 64031) had been completed and were back at Slough and 64032 had gone off, so a few more may have been completed now.
However, they seemed to think that each one was away for about a month at a time, so at that rate, they wouldn't all be complete until June 2020!

I noticed the other day that Riversider 53065 has no first logo or Worcester City branding at all too, also Adam not on fleet list
