E 300 - 147 today


67641 and 67603 noted this afternoon - the latter could do with " tidying up " a bit .  :(

67699 still has the wrong size nearside headlight surround fitted, it came to first like that ex Premiere. I thought First might have rectified that by now

I noticed this today while I was parking my Optare Solo up in Crowngate bus station after finishing my shift.  32854 seems to be making a regular appearance on the 32's this week

I believe there are some narrow sections on the 373 route which require smaller/shorter buses like the Jersey darts.

According to @firstwyvern on twitter, the wyvern streetlites should be so service from end of October

So I have heard the 147 has been doing pretty well?

If its so popular with people wanting to go to Merry Hill but they have to change to another service, would First be interested in extending it to Merry Hill, especially as the whole service is commercial if I'm right? Yes it would make the route a bit longer but surely no worse than the 144 route?

How much for one adult one child return to Worcester from halesowen any ideas? Thanks in advance

Anthony263

Wyvern tickts are:

£6.00 = adult and £4.00 for a child so about £10.00

j789

Best value is if you can get more people to go as a 'family wyvern' is only £12 and allows 2 adults + up to 3 children all day travel around the network.
