After a little more digging, it seems 654 and 655 were officially unallocated or "float vehicles" when new in September 1977, but as per your observations both found their way to Evesham depot. Both were allocated to Coalville when 657 and 658 arrived.

I have been told that BMMO S23 fleet number 5941 (UHA941H) has been sold by BAMMOT. This vehicle is/was not part of their working fleet as I understand the engine is knackered, but is historically significant as it was the last bus to have both the chassis and bodywork built in-house by Midland Red....

53049 is indeed back on the road today in the new livery. Looks to be working the 30/31 circuit.

Red Mildland... Your dad is driving. Did he not offer to swap with you?

33043 is out in service today, but 33042 is still in the depot with the engine in bits.

Called in the depot to see the boss and 33043 was parked outside nose-in which is normally a bad sign, and 33042 was parked inside with work being done on the engine. Bumped into...

I did have a copy of the minutes from Evesham depot meetings during the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s. These had been rescued from the skip by myself when Heron Lodge closed, and could probably answer your question about 654 and 655, but I donated the entire collection to BAMMOT a few years ag...

I have just received a text message from WR1st to say he's spotted one of the 330xx Tridents being recovered to the depot by tow truck. He didn't say which one but I don't think 33042 is back on the road from its failure Monday so it looks like that is two or the three off the road now. :o OK, just...
