More phone pics.

Lots of stuff in the way, but it looks like they've done a good job.

Have these 3 darts have had their Wifi removed since they've been at Worcester? As at least 42892 & 42894 had stickers on when they were at Potteries but do no longer.

I haven't had a chance to drive any of them since their return. Maybe member "Red Midland" can answer that question as he seems to be driving one of them every time I see him.

- with a "name" like HA 08, I'm wondering whether our newest member is also our OLDEST !!

IF you don't understand that comment HA, let me know, and I'll explain it.

67664 is in the body shop this morning for a mini-refurb. Having some of the knocks and bumps ironed out and I'm told they have ordered a new set of "Midland Red" vynals.

That's great news, as I'm sure lots of forum members will agree !

- I've been meaning to say on here (for a long time) how colourful the "patch" outside WR garage has been in recent years, and with a good variety of vehicles.

As far as I can remember, WR never had any buses with the large-size golden-yellow "Midland Red" (underlined) on the front and back ( - ie: just on the sides) -
There are photos of 6463 and 6466 (Leyland Leopards; class S26) on this website that demonstrate front views of this livery (as worn by 67664) -
- the rear "Midland Red" vinyl was above the rear window, and I think that these buses looked very smart when new.

Hmmm... just seen 67664 going through the bus station. No vynals have been fitted.

Good to see it getting some paint. Last bus I drove at WR and still a favourite.

Yesterday I saw some art work for the new Malvern area route branding which I assume will appear on buses in mid-October when the routes change.

What did you think adam?
