Good call tbh I remember this on the 144 and caught it a couple of times. Think it confused people slightly at the time in that livery... Was it a loan from ADL to cover warranty work or something like that?

Worcester has run several types since new when they would no doubt have been the newest buses though...

j789

When First were running the buses for the 2012 Olympics, an 11 plate Gemini was at Worcester for a week or so before going on Olympic duties and saw service so I think this is the newest.

THANKS SAYEED!
Thanks for your link to this photo that I've not seen before.

- there were two or three of the Tridents 33401-5, used on the Xmas P+Ride, either in December 2004 or 2005 or both - I can't remember exactly -
but  36168  IS the newest DD to run on normal WR routes  (including the 32  - I wish I had a photo of that!)

It's now 46 years since the Worcester garage of Midland Red/ First  had an allocation of NEW  DDs !!
