I went down to Worcester today to photograph the First StreetLites, while I was down there I found one of the two East Lancs bodied
Enviro 300s, despite Astons having them for three years

Not what you expect an Enviro 300 to look like
Never even East Lancs bodied any E300, does look quite nice though.
It reminds me of the Willowbrook Warrior body that was used to re-body old bus/coach chassis. Leyland Leopards if I remember. Wow,thats going back a bit. :o
What buses do Aston's use on the
Worcester services thanks

Streetlites mostly, the odd Solo thrown in.

New to NN Cresswell of Evesham.
what is the pvr for the services leaving Worcester town centre as I think I missed some buses
Streetlite BJ63AUN was on the 27 today. I did see MX61BBV parked up in the bus station but not sure which route it was on,probably on the other Worcester circular route; the 26.
Astons newest addition to the fleet is MX15 AFU Wright Streetlite MAX.

Astons have recently taken delivery of two ex demonstrator Scania coaches.

405 lost too... interesting. I wonder who's won this. Could Astons be cutting back on stage carriage work, DRM have apparently lost work too surprisingly.

I'm surprised that First are re-entering Hereford via tender wins, especially given that they quit the main city network & pretty much gave it to Yeoman's on a plate.
I must say I'm surprised too, especially seeing as Hereford was quit a year after they started to expand again with the country tendered service wins at Yeomans etc expense.
I was surprised Hereford was quit full stop, these tendered wins on the outer edge of the county do seem to make sense as they can be worked from WR if Astons bid uncompetitively and/or want to reduce bus work.
