First Bus - Wyvern

Saw a salt road branded bus on the M5! Do drivers use that route back to garage routinely or?

Yes it is the quickest route to and from Worcester for buses starting or finishing at Catshill on the 144. This is a fairly recent trend though (say last 4-5 years) as drivers were previously banned from doing this and had to run via the A38 instead. There must be a decent wage and fuel saving via the motorway too as journey time is about 20 minutes compared with 35 'minutes via the A38 route.

The S45 school route starting from Alvechurch also uses the M5 and M42 to get to/from where it starts/finishes.

@uniquicity - there's suggestions that Worcester will be getting all 5 from that 65 plate batch at Leciester i.e. 35151-5

Interesting, probably got one they will be replacing in the first shot i.e. 32645

I suspect the 2 x 12 plate B9TL / Gemini's might transfer elsewhere too (36241/2). First haven't forgot they still owned Worcester afterall.

Nothing still on the horizon to replace the 07 / 08 plate Citaro's or the last of the 07 plate Plaxton Centro's

Just stick some Midland Red logos on it (and a badger maybe) and it'd be a good modern day spin on the classic Midland Red 😀

Yep, its effectivly a return to Midland Red and Badgerline

I'd completely forgotten I'd even asked the question..A reshuffle of one of my folders at home is overdue then......

Hello all, Just a quick question as the WCC website isn't working on my computer, Where about is the boundary for the City Connecta ticket?

Thanks in advance.

36241/2 have now moved to Weston super Mare but are due to move over to Ravenhill, Swansea. So all Worcester double decks fleet should be Streetdecks going forward.

Probably not needed for use. Don't read anything into it.

35152 is listed on Bustimes but with an allocation of Leicester and has not tracked since August, is it actually still at Leicester and if so why ?
