That was taken some years ago, as P878PWW hasn't been in the fleet for sometime

If you look closer, it looks as though the Dart may of hit the roof trusses.

Are you sure its not Droitwich instead?

You could be right on that actually as weren't several of their PWW ex Ludlows darts used on Worcester work-ie filling in on the 30/city routes and also the longer routes out to Pershore etc.

The unit in the picture isn't very wide or high, where as Church Road is open plan & can take double deckers.

Most of the ex Ludlows P---PWW Darts were painted up & branded for Red Diamond Worcester City services

Then withdrawn and scrapped pretty much soon after those services were withdrawn...
