First Bus - Wyvern

[Trident 4194]

@Trident 4194 Are you planning on going to Hereford for First Hereford last day this Saturday mate?

No, although I was planning to catch the class 150 from bhm to Hereford, then 420, then bus or train back

@Reece will the 420 still run?

YES,but run by DRM COACHES, not First as I already told you in the last post.

First have published a planned fleetlist for January 2016 for the Midlands and were selling it at today's Leicester open day.

Worcester should look like this, with the usual disclaimers:

Solo: 53043-051, 53061/062;
StreetLite midi: 47513-520;
E200: 44511/514/515;
E300: 67642/643/647-665, 67699;
B7RLE: 66691-699;
BMC: 68507/559;
StreetLite Max: 63345-353 [due Nov/Dec];
Volvo coach: 20201/202;
Trident: 33039/042/043, 33401-405;
StreetDeck: 35156-159 [due imminently];
B7TL: 32066/067.

Things may change but this is the plan. Will add the Potteries and Leicester lists when I have time. The Worcester StreetDecks will be in the raspberry-fronted livery applied to the Bristol and Leicester ones.

No the new StreetDecks and Streetlites MAX should/will have Red fronts as First Worcester specified this in the order and because Red is a more suitable colour for this area because of Midland Red and the routes there for are the 44 series and they should have route branding as well apparently.

THANKS for posting this Barry.
I notice at the bottom of the Potteries list you've posted, it includes their PVR  -
Could you possibly tell us the PVR for Worcester/Wyvern/FMR  IF your "advance fleet list" shows it ?

THANKS.

Ok, you know better than the regional MD does then...

Re the PVR question, I will have a look at the fleetlist as I don't have it to hand at the moment.

I don't get where this first new decker for Worcester thing is resurfacing from... The VX54 tridents were new to FMR in 2005 and first used on Worcester christmas park and ride specials when new...
