Vehicle Replacements 2024

[ANDREW]

On the picture of 33673 , towards the rear is a green 'sticker' which says that the bus is of Euro 6 standard ,have any more of the recent imports got this message on them ??

There are only 4 Streetlites left at Worcester - if they are your favourite - there must be someone who likes them - better get a ride soon, they should all be gone by next week.

I’m currently enjoying driving E200’s, 300’s and 400’s - had 33670 on 2 Catshills today, wonderful, topped the bank past the Chateau at 50mph, haven’t done anything like that in a vehicle other than my car for a long time!

Clifton’s again tomorrow - hopefully might get the latest addition, the yellow liveried FirstBus driving recruitment advertising livery.

I'm sure that a few days back that 33832 was down on Bustimes as a transfer to Worcester but it is not of the list anymore , can I assume that it never got here ??

I noticed that too, Andrew ! -- it gave us 16 DDs very briefly ( - the more, the better, I say !)

33858 is on the patch (WR) this afternoon, which makes 16 DDs again, but we don't know what the permanent total will be circa. September onwards --

I've noticed on bustimes that 2 of the E400s look to be "on the long-term sick" -- 33863+69, - the latter is now parked at the back of the patch, so one or two MIGHT be for
temporary cover --
also for repaints ??

I'm aware of at least some of our replacement fleet looking "tired and grubby" and I haven't seen the bus-wash working for a while -- is it broken ?

Does First Worcester ever use a commercial bus+coach wash ?

With the compulsory purchase order set to remove the bus wash, will First refuse to wash and repaint our buses ??

All the StreetDecks and StreetLites have now gone (according to bustimes) but the Volvo B7RLEs seem reluctant to go -- a rumour on FaceBook suggested that the Bristol division were going to move SOME about in November (?)

[ANDREW]

Bustimes has 33832 working off Bath today.

[ANDREW]

33858 fits in nicely numerically. Whoever decides these transfers must like neat batches of fleet numbers. 33871 is at Sheffield and has not been used for a while . . . . . . The same goes for 33872.

Spotted 2 more ageing First E400s heading up the M5 towards Worcester this morning. Both in Olympia livery.

Padmore Streets wash hasn’t worked since January. Its replacement has been authorised and it will be in the same location as present, but will be covered so that the adjacent walkway will be dry.

That's great news, thanks bmmoboy !!
