Latest official list of First Midlands changes (7/1/13 - 18/3/13 excluding the vehicles sold to Rotala) are now on the home page of them main site

Tony

The links off this page now lead to a genuine full group fleet number summary

http://wmbusphotos.com/FirstUK/Firstindex.html

It is correct to 26/2/16 and I hope to do the regular updates to it when I receive the company fleetlist, and I will gradually add all the registrations in as and when I get time.

Normal underlining is links to a photograph of that vehicle the same as all the other links

Tony

This Month I have put the entire First Group fleet changes on the page

Hopefully this will continue from now on

They did leave the group as I photographed them at Plaxtons last week, must have been hired back again

Tony

First group have finally sent me a new fleet list today, as this is the first one since May it will take me some time to sort out all the moves, but they will hopefully be listed on the main site by next weekend.

(This answers a query posted last month that I cannot find which thread it was posted on)

Tony

Surprised myself by managing to write a google sheets formula that picked out all the changes from the last six months, so here they are

There will be several more changes over the coming weeks as Worcester receives more Volvos for the 'refreshed 144' route from Leicester. There are currently 3 at Worcester, with 2 being in service and 12 being expected. Hopefully First will send you updates on a more regular basis in the future!!

Did it say what happened to Solos 53045/6 as I thought they went from Worcester to First South Wales but according to that list they have gone elsewhere outside the company?

Thanks for this and all the other fleet updates. Looks like more "new" buses for Worcester then ! 8)

Many thanks for the update but I think 35261-32594 inclusive should read 35261-35294 inclusive.
