Yes, it was bought down to use on the 14:15 Service 417 to Ledbury, which then works the afternoon Much Marcle School service. On arriving in Crowngate they realised the blind had not been reprogrammed so it was sent back to the depot! Now with the correct software, it returned for the 417.

53802 has not been well of late!

53802 is now off the road to try and sort the engine problems out. Let’s hope 53207 is good because fixing 53802 could be a big job.

I had a look at 53802 while on my lunch break and noticed the Operator Licence has been removed. I guess they expect it to be off the road for a while.

Managed this quick shot of 53207 yesterday morning 3 December 2018 in Crowngate, unfortunately the camera did not catch the destination but it was showing the correct local route!

That looks very much like long-time enthusiast John Finn at the wheel.
