Vehicle Replacements 2024

[DD12]

I don't like what I see on bustimes.org -- that as well as ALL the Mercedes Citaros, 66691 has also been withdrawn, - so far presumably replaced by one of the inherited short Street-Lites.
I had hoped that by now we would have been receiving newer, full-size, middle to heavyweight single-deckers suitable for schools and the X50.
(I hate to see a full load load of passengers crammed into a seedy, grubby single-decker on the X50 !!)

You want to try getting 60 school kids to Hanley Castle school, or 99 students on a StreetDeck on the S23!

Excuse me for "quoting myself" but but I think it's appropriate to add here that 47640+42 have now also been added.

A photo of them at WR has just appeared on Facebook.

35153 left for Weston-super-Mare today, being delivered to Bristol by a Worcester driver. The rest of the Streetlites should follow shortly. 32644 is expected to be withdrawn on Friday.

By chance I managed a photograph this morning, Thursday 25 April 2024, of 32644 working the 07-45 32S along Grange Avenue, Worcester on what will probably be it's penultimate day in service at Worcester prior to withdrawal.

What are we getting in return? More e300s?
