What bus operates on 364 and 44 and 551?

One of the joys of working at Worcester is that you get variety on most routes, I don't think I could hack driving the same type of bus every day.

Generally the Enviro 300s can and do appear on any route, including the 31 which is meant to be Solo. The Solos are mainly on the 31 in the day then all (bar the 144) in the evening.

The deckers are limited to the 30, 32, 144 and schools due to low bridges but they occasionally do the 550, and even the 551. There is one 44 running board in the morning from Barnards Green to Worcester that is decker operated coming off a school route. The 44 would be an ideal route for deckers if it wasn't for a couple of roads in Malvern.

The streetlites are mainly on the 33/34/35 routes and 362/363/364/365/373 but can also appear across the network.

The centros like the E300s can be on anything but there are usually some guaranteed to be on the 44.

Like I said, variety!

Thanks, but doesn't first only have six streetlites, so how can they appear on all of those routes?
What are the chances of a decker on 144?

There are 8 Streetlites (47513 - 47520) at Worcester. The routes they operate on only have PVR's of 3 to 6 and are allocated alongside other vehicle types.

Deckers are on most 144 journeys Monday to saturday

[j789]

There are 8 Streetlites at Worcester, they appear across the board as they are not restricted to certain routes so it is possible to get them on any route but the 33/34/35 are most likely to have them. As for deckers on the 144, everyday except sunday you will have deckers on this route, the First bus out the garage at 5.25am is a Decker on the 144 (5.33am journey) and this will also run the 9am, 1pm and 5.15pm 144. Other deckers also appear on other running boards so you are quite likely to get a decker on the route (or 144a).

What is the best e300 in the first wavers fleet, as I know they have a wide range. Also what deckers are best ?

For E300's, I'd go for 67637 and 67662 (best ZF)

[j789]

67665 is a nice E300 (Newer too than the majority of other e300s) and 67662 is a pleasant drive. Best decker by far is the Gemini 32645 (albeit a Leicester bus that is on loan (for nearing a year now!). The Tridents are all OK but the cabs are very cramped.

[Reece]

I been told by a driver that the worst bus at First Worcester currently is Plaxton President 32852 T852LLC.

[James4368]

Do tridents serve Worcester bus station by foregate street?

[PM]

I know the Wyvern ticket covers the 420 to Hereford, but does it cover travel on Hereford routes too? Even the 446 out to Almeley?

Yep, absolutely everything! :D

[Reece]

And the H1 to Hay-on-Wye in Wales?

@Matt No the First Wyvern ticket does not cover the H1 to Hay-on-Wye.

[PM]

And the H1 to Hay-on-Wye in Wales?

The Hay shuttle?

That's £7 single, £10 return I think, excluded from Wyvern.

[PM]

Oh balls haha, never mind.

Is that a temporary service or something, as don't remember hearing about it before.

Yep, to coincide with Hay on Wye festival, just from 21-31st May.
