Saw a 25 plate reg tri-axle Touring with Commendery coaches branding tesyerday...
Is YR58 RTO still in service anyone?? - Wonder if this is it's replacement...

Anyone know if 33831 is still in the fleet? Or did that transfer over to Bristol along with 33673 & 33737?

OUT:
33673 SN12 AEU - Bristol/Bath
33737 SN12 ANR - Bristol/Bath

IN:
33746 SN12 AOF - FGM
33747 SN12 AOG - FGM
33748 SN12 AOH - FGM

69333 YJ08 CDO (Trainer) - FSY

With the January bus improvements approaching (which will see the take over of the Droitwich network routes & frequency increase on the X50 to half hourly) Surely this will mean an increased PVR 🤔
It looks like the new Droitwich services will require 3 vehicles. Plus another two for the extra on X50...
Any more Enviro 200's/300's/400's going spare??
Or is there room for the current fleet to be better utilised throughout the day??

44602 has apparently also transferred in today, which wears a yellow First Cymru careers livery! 

You would at least hope that they are planning on repainting anything in non-Olympia. Like the 8 ex Cymru Clipper E300's & the few E200's that are in the cymru red livery...

Anyone have any idea when the rest of the E400's will start moving over from SY to replace the StreetDeck's? 
Also when the last 3 E300's are due + more E200's from Wales?? 
Wonder if there are any plans to get the ones already here repainted into the new corporate livery - Would look good on them me thinks!

Looks like the final E400 (33728 - SN12 ALO) has entered service today on the 14/14A  ;)

Does anyone have any info on the ex Diamond (loan) Volvo B7RLE's that are to replace E300s at AG?

63359 appears to have joined 63360 at Leicester. Just 3 remain at Worcester now! (63361 - 3)

Seeing as there's 5 Tridents and only 3 B7TLs to transfer from Leicester, has there been any mention of how the numbers will be made up ?

Hopefully we'll be able to steal a couple from Potteries too! 37156 & 37158 would be nice. (And there younger than the 3 Leicester examples which would be a bonus! ;))

The 192 usually has one of the white Streetlites on there.

Yes, but 20186 is the most recent of the batch having only just arrived! ;)

Gone for repaint.. should be for service 17.. (or at least that was what was planned back when they first painted service 18/88's etc).

I don't really think much to the spare bus livery.. and I think that should arrive last if anything! They need to brand / paint the rest of the buses otherwise it doesn't really make sense.
Fuscia is ok for "spare" if you ask me!

Thanks! The 17 uses 2 buses doesn't it? I wonder what other vehicle they could paint up for it...

Also, am I correct in saying there were plans to brand up the ex WoE StreetLite's for the 38/38A too?

Regarding the spare bus livery. I think a lot of people (including me) share your view on it. They tend to end up on any route on the network, not just the branded routes!

69442 hasn't been out for a couple of weeks. Does anyone know if it's it in for a repaint? Maybe a candidate for the 'Spare bus' livery already used at Worcester & the Potteries...

What is the point of me typing everything up on the main site if it gets ignored

My Apologies, I hadn't thought to check your fleet list.
However, there are some errors as looking at a picture of 32318 it is registered as BD20 OCP, not 'ODP'
