32648 is parked tonight on "the patch" at Worcester -- any facts about that would be very welcome !!

It was observed by me being towed down the M6 yesterday morning.

That could be the start of your Tridents to go. Sadly that could mean Leicester's 32643-6 are leaving soon for Worcester.

37157 is the first Gemini to be repainted into 'The Kingfisher' livery for the 32. Looks brilliant

Now that the Leek Link Scania's are all in service, the next route to receive a new identity is the 101, presumably using the current allocation of Scania's. Here is the proposed livery: https://www.flickr.com/photos/43152696@N08/49391220141/in/datetaken/
Similar colours to Leicester's Braunstone Bus & Worcester's Riversider liveries.

It's not a 'proposed' livery. It's an actual one. You will see a photo of one of them appear on the main site in around an hour

There were talks of it from what I'd heard. 44511 has been here since before Christmas

It isn't on the Potteries fleetlist on here though.

32639 has re-appeared after being absent for a number of months. Not quite sure why - just never saw it out in service for ages

Meanwhile 65034, 65035 and 65038 currently comprise the Knotty (101) fleet, with 65042 now branded as a Spare Bus. I'm assuming 65033 and 65036 will shortly follow as these have been MIA for a while as well

Do you know what happened to 65037? (I believe it is Withdrawn)
