Best of luck, Adam, in whatever you decide to do in the future and many thanks for all you have done for this website. Your 'insider' knowledge has been of tremendous interest and helped make the forum what it is.

Best of luck in the future Adam! I have enjoyed all the insider information you have contributed despite only joining this forum in early 2018, and not really posting much ;)
This website is excellent and I hope you can keep it reasonably updated if time allows.

I’m not sure if I met you in 2016 on the Droitwich - Bromsgrove - Longbridge Rail Replacements, one of the drivers took me and my Dad on 32066, officially the standby vehicle but we wanted to ride something other than a Streetdeck, in the end bagging 37158 too, and told us to be careful about inhaling the fumes :lol:

Wasn't me! I did do a standby shift during that Rail contract, but I was in one of the StreetDecks that were on loan from Leicester and spent almost all of the day sat at Longbridge reading a book.

The website will be staying. It's 20-years old soon and I'm not letting all that work go to waste! I am hoping some of the other members of this forum who work at First will keep me updated so I can continue to keep the vehicle database up to date. Time will tell.

Thank you to everyone for your kind comments. It was a very difficult decision to make, but once made and my notice was given it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted from my shoulders.

Been allocated 66691 for the 363. That should make MattW happy, assuming it doesn’t break down between now and then!

I can't see me being out until the afternoon trip mate. I've got to wait til the Autoglass man turns up before I can go anywhere so I'll see you later.
