First Wyvern | 144 > Droitwich, Ombersley Street - Worcester Bus Station (32852) T852LLC (One of the ex Whittle drivers was driving and we talked to him till we got to Worcester) (Just to say this Plaxton President is the worst one I have ever been on in my life!!)

We spent a few hours in Worcester got some lunch and did some spotting I when on a local Worcester service mentioned below while @Will charge his phone at Worcester Library.

First Wyvern | 30 > Worcester Bus Station - Dines Green, Grenville Road (33401) VX54MTV

Johnsons Coach & Bus | 350 > Worcester Bus Station - Redditch Bus Station YJ59GEY (Nice and warm almost fell a sleep.)
Diamond | X3 > Redditch Bus Station - Kidderminster General Hospital (30931) VX54MUO (This bus is very ILL and needs a new gearbox IMMEDIATELY it struggled to get up any sort of hill/bank. On a one very steep hill leaving Redditch it was barely reaching 12mph and we had queue of 20 cars and a 143 stuck behind us. This is officially the worst bus I have ever been on!!!!!)
