Yes, the First garage in Worcester is due to be redeveloped in the new Shrub Hill regeneration plans which are now funded.

It will be interesting to see future events that will occur because of this

Maybe a cue for First to consider exiting Worcester? the fleet has already largely been stripped of newer Euro 6 buses.

First's management will need to be convinced that Worcestershire County council is actually capable of forming the new partnership with operators that is required by new government legislation and funding.

The City council continues to redevelop areas without adequate roads, and that includes booting-out the central bus depot which is currently in the best place.

If I won £175 million on Euromillions, I could quite fancy buying my local bus company (First Midland Red), but unless I got cast-iron guarantees from the two councils, I wouldn't offer even £1 for it !!

First Worcester B7RLE 69435 coming down Digbeth High Street earlier past the coach station.

32646 is on it today.

32646 is one fast Gemini. Had it on the x50 and it was insanely quick

This weeks weekly TFWM changes say that the 144 (Birmingham to Worcester via Bromsgrove and Droitwitch) will lose the long standing link to Birmingham from April 2022. And will now terminate at Catshill.

 Not really suprised at this but I thought it might still go as far as Rubery . . . .
