Re: Improved services in 2025

Droitwich stuff is good to see - is this new, or taken over from someone else? I believe that some of it is taken over from Astons Coaches and some from LMS, and the 22/22A appears to be taken over from "Kevs " (355). I once lived and worked in Droitwich (briefly) and I have for very many...

https://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/24734245.9-3-million-boost-bus-services-worcestershire/ I very much hope that Worcester, as the central hub of many South Worcestershire bus services gets LOTS of £ from the various government funding streams, and that any £ is used in the most sensible, intellig...

Re: Current scene, 2024

Two double-deckers have been acquired and are in use here -- Volvo B7TLs with Plaxton President bodies

LR52BNZ and LR52BMO. (Photos and some history are on Flickr).

2 or 3 out of the 5 Scania DDs are still in service --

NUI6119 and RJZ4783.

(X399WVO was in use earlier in the year).

Re: Vehicle Replacements 2024

This morning (Friday the 13th) there are no less than 9 single-deckers that, according to bustimes, are not in use OR NOT TRACKING :- E200s 44584, 88, 90, 92, 44610, 23, 28, 32; and E300 67438. So, presumably as a result, FOUR of the Volvos are shown as being in use here at Worcester, rather than de...

Re: Vehicle Replacements 2024

Yes, they are back on the patch at WR -- photo on facebook -- and there was a comment on facebook that "engineering have been told that WR can use 2 of them, but no more than that" --
