Another StreetLite (or two !)

Post by DD12 » 16:57 Wednesday 13th September 2023

47416 has been added to WR's list on bustimes, - from Taunton.

This confirms a post that was on facebook, and makes it likely we will get 47415 also.

Apparently 47442 was taken down south, in exchange !!

I was allocated 47442 last Wednesday afternoon, for use on City, but it failed in the morning! I didn’t think it would last long at Worcester as it still had its Bristol fleetnames.

I assume that the Citaro's will be replaced then. [Unless First have acquired a lot more work]. :(

47474 has been added to Bustimes. ;) These fleet numbers take me back to my train number days. :geek:

We are to receive six Streetshites from York, 2 have already arrived. There are also 4 more ‘MacStreetshites’ to follow shortly from Glasgow. Citaros are being withdrawn whenever any work is needed to keep them on the road.
Unconfirmed rumours say that all the Volvos are going to Leicester, to make Worcester all Streetlite operated. Time to look for a new job.

..... that would also make the vehicle profile "compatible" with DIAMOND's !!

..... no sign of any repaints into a new WR livery yet .....

..... maybe blue ??
