Ex First MX06AEB noted on the Charfords today
could this spell the end for the infamous PEZ ??

Well spotted Matt ! - I had not spotted it was ex First 57000 - originating with Truronian !
IF I'm right in thinking that KEV's primo(s) are based in Bromsgrove, then maybe there should be a merger !

Was driving down the Worcester Road and could see an E300 on a 144/A at the stop by the Court Leet pub and could see something a bit strange behind.A bit surprised to see 99 on the display as I got closer.
Coming home several hours later down Rock Hill saw it again but a bit far away as it turned into Charford Road.Looked like it had some sort of writing on the side a rear.Livery mostly white with a bit of pale blue.
Did a quick image search to see it was an ex First vehicle.

There look to be plenty of pictures on Flickr. Last operated by First at Bath, then to Somerbus as a dealer,then to Gard of Ringwood for use on a town service in Ringwood. Will have to have a look for it next time I venture into Bromsgrove.

Didn't venture out myself today otherwise would've looked out for it again in case it was a one off and just borrowed from somewhere.Will certainly miss seeing 'PEZ' around town if this is the end of the road for it

My IMPRESSION is that the Primos are so rough-running (unreliable??) that operators are passing them around like hot potatoes -
someone might be well-advised to hang onto PEZ !

It is a Wheeler/Clearway vehicle as confirmed by legal lettering earlier. It appears to be in reasonable nick , squeaking brakes and vibrations when on tick-over can apply to a large % of buses.
No sign on any "smoke" when pulling away so lets see how many years they get out of the bus - not as many as "PEZ" for sure !

I have no knowledge of their attributes - I just think they look cute!
