Nice seeing WX59 BZH today on the 144 to Catshill as it's not longer a salt road branding as it's gone into the new first livery 69454

Looks like Worcester is going back to the 80s with the First reorganisation with management being Bristol based

69456 is in paint shop getting painted into the new first livery that's why it's not been on the road since 23rd June 2022

I remember when it was in Leicester in Barbie. Must have been one of the last Barbie painted buses on delivery before Olympia came in?

Why are you? Its probably just a timetable change.
Registration hasn't been updated to remove Birmingham. Neither of which are particularly uncommon.

Well I saw it said Birmingham on it and last I checked it didn't serve Birmingham anymore, so yeah it kind of piqued my curiosity...

It says the same thing on the previous registrations.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

 Drat. Like "MasterPlan" , I thought the 144 to Brum was returning . . . . . . .  :embarrassed:  The "via Lickey End" part really made me wonder or should that be wander ??  :grin:

This is why we warn people not to get 'carried away' when looking at bus registrations/variations.

In this case, the route has stayed registered as Birmingham to Worcester for whatever reason, but the previous registrations will have been to alter the registered timetable and/or stopping points, and that is then reflected in the route correctly showing in data feeds as only running between Catshill and Worcester.

I don't know how this system works because I don't run a bus company, but perhaps changing the 'From' and 'To' details requires deregistering the service and submitting a new registration, that's a pure guess as I don't know what's involved, maybe it is much more straight-forward but someone didn't think it was that important.

Then again, that gets people 'excited' too when they see registrations showing as Cancelled...
