Hi All in the Potteries !!

Can anyone tell me what's happening with 32646 ? - - according to the bus times tracker, it hasn't been used for a long time, - so if it's being worked-on, what's being done to it ??

Thanks.

It was on loan from Leicester while we were waiting for the 3 ALX400s before it went down to Worcester. It was tracking as 32649. Wasn't in the yard on Tuesday and haven't seen it in service since Christmas

Thanks PointerDart and Glenfieldmathk1, for your replies,  --  I have now seen 32646 is at Worcester garage (Midland Red code WR) !!  --  still in Leicester City livery.

Thanks also to ellspurs,  --  I must google the meaning / history of "all around the Wrekin" - sometime !!

They are Potteries buses. Recent transfers from Manchester via Diamond NW

First Potteries are now using the same style of destination blinds as Worcester and Leicester.

Must say I much prefer the new style as it stands out more. Any ideas on what font First use in these boards as I'm looking to recreate them for myself?

I have a feeling D&G will step in as a result and increase or amend the 32(X).
