Another stupid Ray Stenning idea? What's wrong with just the standard First livery for the none route branded ones so they don't look out of place used elsewhere?

I know it's daft, standard First Wyvern livery would have been perfectly fine & at least passengers wouldn't have to look twice to check it was a First bus. The Nimrod 35 livery is really smart though.

Ray's getting greedy, he's billed Transdev & First for exactly the same spare bus livery....

Why go through all the effort of giving it lettering saying it's a spare bus? Just don't bother with it - just keep the colours. It looks absolutely stupid like that.

I mean, the concept of buses being in a "spare" livery kinda works, but only if every route has its own livery, which isn't the case with Worcester because of course there's the standard First livery...
In this case, the buses are only "spare" for that one route and you can guarantee that normal First livery vehicles will end up on there

The thing is, with the Salt Road also being branded, could that spare livery Merc be put on there if need in a worst case.

Does it comply with the Euro rules in Birmingham though?

Streetlites do still appear on the 144 occasionally

With two Citaro's arriving on the 19th the outstanding balance is now just two. Not sure when they get out on service but driver familiarisation is on-going.

The first couple have been in service from Saturday according to a colleague. I wasn't working this weekend so I'm unsure of which fleet numbers they were.

64016 , 64018 and 64012 are mentioned on MidlandRed.net as being available for service.  ;D

When will the other mercs be out on the rd
