DD12 on Saturday 28th October 2017
I don't think it was used in service at WR - - this was on a brief visit to WR and was having short-term allocations to various depots. - - Worcester had lost all it's double-deckers in October 1976, and it would be 26 years before they slowly started to be re-introduced here. - - Most older forum members probably think this was the last appearance of a DD12 at WR, but in the following 18 months, I saw 6052 do an overnight stop on it's way back to it's Leamington base, having been freshly repainted at central works.
