First Bus - Leicester

[leicesterbusadventurer]

Would make sense with the number of E400s in service now 4. Just 3 to go then we'll have the Geminis replaced.

Only 32646 was out today out of the 3 Gemini's, which already is rather odd. Leads me to think 32644 and 32645's time at Leicester, after 15 and a half years, may be over.

According to some staff on the LTHT's FB page, 32646's last day is tomorrow, with 32645's time in Leicester, sadly over.

32645 spent an evening (rare) running on service 13 for its last day!
32646 is rumoured to be last day of Wednesday!

(P.s. I think you commented on my YouTube vid)!

Does anyone know if these are still coming to Worcester, please ??

Nigel just confirmed this on my Facebook post!
They are replacing tridents with these (Tridents going to Essex!).

The last day:
Heres a video I got of 32646 early this evening, whilst out on a run / walk!

Also got 33733 on its first day out too!

Seeing as there's 5 Tridents and only 3 B7TLs to transfer from Leicester, has there been any mention of how the numbers will be made up ?

Hopefully we'll be able to steal a couple from Potteries too! 37156 & 37158 would be nice. (And there younger than the 3 Leicester examples which would be a bonus! ;))

He didn't say.
But 32643 (which did got to Potteries from Leicester at beginning of this year) was mentioned as going to Worcester previously.

As predicted on the South Yorkshire Transport Forum, two more B7TLs, (53 plate), have been allocated to Potteries.

They are shown on the tracker, even if they haven't arrived yet.

This means Potteries has gained 5 extra DDs in recent times, and so my GUESS is that Worcester will get "any two" DDs

from Potteries to replace the two remaining Tridents. ( :'()

I guess they'll come over to Worcester, but are stopping on the way (probably whilst the restrictions on capacity remain)!

It's rather obvious we are now short on spare double deckers. Today 35171 was on the 38A and 18, and 35179 was on the 16/74.

I personally don't think branding the E400's up was a fantastic idea.

I think it was more a case of a dodgey allocation- rather than them not having enough "ticket branded" spare Streetdecks (as these were on 54/22 anyway!)..
Leicester has more dd's now than it did have this time last year or last month!

Spare 35169 & 35192 were both on 54! So these should of been put on 16/74 and the 38A instead! At least they are Fuscia.. so no one would of known! If an Orange E400 came along it would be different!
35171 was called onto 18 later on due to a vehicle breakdown.

Does anyone happen to know whether 35151 has been debranded?
It's been on the 22 twice this week and now the 26.
