How come now the B7RLEs from first have started moving elsewhere to other parts of the UK?

worcester depot is supposed to become a purely ADL enviro depot over the summer, hence the moves of the E400s from yorkshire and the E300s and E200s from cymru and streetlites to cymru and etc...

so should say next couple of weeks is the last time to catch any sort of non-adl vehicle at worcester before they all move elsewhere especially the B7RLEs

Of course, will probably change again..
One minute it was supposed to be all Streetlites & Streetdecks depot.. then now it's ADL..
Maybe next week it will become an all Optare depot! Haha

Thanks for that, shame that the b7s are going especially the fact they are the ZF ecomat versions. These are particularly my fav type of wright eclipse 2.

It would help if they made inroads on repainting them too.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

You would at least hope that they are planning on repainting anything in non-Olympia. Like the 8 ex Cymru Clipper E300's & the few E200's that are in the cymru red livery...

44602 has apparently also transferred in today, which wears a yellow First Cymru careers livery!

Mr TONY HUNTER, please can you confirm that the E400s you have listed as transferred from Lawrence Hill to Worcester - 33924 etc, is an error, or will not now happen ?

THANKS for all your efforrts over the years !

I presume it is true based on what was posted earlier a few replies back:
https://wmbusphotos.com/forum/index.php?msg=332439


My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

I suspect it is a copy & paste error, the line above were two Worcester transfers i.e. 33866; 33869

These are Worcesters E400's to date, most if not all from FSY:

33927 & 33930 are still tracking & in service now with First Bristol, Bath & the West:

44603 has a similar livery too.

This is about as interesting as Worcester gets now. Not worth visiting.

I know this is a bit late to be saying but why did first just decide not to go from Worcester directly to Birmingham anymore? Was it just too costly/took too much time or is there a deeper meaning?
