Two Enviro 200's are at Adderley Green for transfer to Worcester, ex ensign.

33403 has moved internally from Redditch to Worcester.

winston

4 x Ex First Essex Trident/Presidents are also due at Redditch, likely to be from the batches T8--LLC, T8--KLF or V8--HBY originally ex First London.

It well be the 33072 & 33073 are only on loan and actually due for Essex, especially as they are in the new First livery with Redditch being on the for sale list

jc

as expected 33404/5 have also moved to Worcester, the two E200's mentioned above are from TownLynx.

32860 has shown up at Redditch with 33072/3 withdrawn from service today.

Surely yo mean withdrawn for transfer elsewhere?  As I have said under Leyland Olympians/Volvo Citybses, first need to remove these not LF double decks.

33072/3 are destined for First Essex and therefore only on loan to Redditch, Redditch are to receive 4 older Tridents ex First Essex (the first of which has already arrived) which I assume will replace the remaining step entrance deckers

jc

of course i meant for transfer to Essex, 31452 returned to service today and 34285 has a secondhand rear axle newly fitted so i think these Tridents will replace 34302 and 33403-5.

I guess it makes sense for newer 33403-5 to transfer to WR now that the Redditch operation is reported to be on the market

To my knowlegde from reading many Redditch Bourgh Council papers that 1 54 plate Trident is ment to stay at Redditch due to some of the funding that First had with them to get them. But then again I could be wrong or First have forget.

32862 has joined the fleet, not sure where tho but she is now in worcestershire. I wounder what is replacing these buses in essex is it Ex Olymic or is it going to be ex Paraolympic 400's.

32862 is at Redditch, so there back to 8 deckers there - 32860/2, 32877, 32894, 38123/6, 31452 and 34285.

33403-5 are all at Worcester and at least one of there E200's is in service.

33405 had a blown head gasket but from another site i hear its ment to be heading back to Redditch. Also 33403 had a hick up in Droitwich.
