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

Hopefully this will continue from now on
55106 and 55107 still in service in Leicester. Not yet left the Group.

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

The fleet summary is currently being updated at

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?

They just show as status 'disposed'

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.

Bit of a cheat though. I didn't get the December changes, because First reviewed their policy on who could have fleetlists of them, but I am back on the list now, so this is two full months, 26th November until 28th January
In the latest fleet changes, it states that 57170 as been dispose of. What is or what was 57170 as there never been a 57170 in the first fleet.

It should be 67170:
ADL/Enviro 200MMC 66170 (YY66 PCF) was destroyed by fire at Danbury on 19/03/21, while on route 31B.

Now corrected, thank you
I have now updated the First Midlands fleet list on the main page, merging Leicester, Potteries & Wyvern into one list complete with statuses as at the beginning of July
