Always thought this round of "overground" branding was a great example of the attention to detail First showed back at that time. Put route branding stickers that extend over the "First" logo, realise it looked ridiculous so replace the branding (at some cost?) with a slightly shorter brand, leaving a sticky mess behind what they peeled off... Suppose at least the fares information was complete at the time and no typos!

With all the wonderful modern branding the modern version of north end of the 32, the 37 to Green Lane gives a bus at 07-25 and one at 07-55 then NOTHING for 95 minutes, it is now only half hourly from 09-30 until mid afternoon when last bus out of the city is at 17-15. When the Varios, as shown in the photograph, ran we had an early 06-30 bus, hourly subsidised evening buses between 19-15 & 23-15 and a 15 minute frequency service through most of the day. My cousin in London has public transport 24/7 and laughs when I relate the sad demise of Worcester's bus services!
