As long as 67664 Stays then that's a good thing!

Yes, lets repaint an Enviro in heritage livery and then ship it out! Makes sense!

I cant see all the Enviros 300 leaving in one go so 67664 will probably be the last to go. Will be interesting to see what happens with 67699 as it is non standard. Probably will stay. Hopefully the E200s will come back too as they are much better than the Streetlites to drive.

Forgot the E200s at Hereford! No doubt with regards to the E300s it will be 67601-4 and 67631-43, the former Redditch ones basically.

If Potteries get E300's, what would Worcester use to cover their PVR?

WR will have an increased Pvr from Sept with the new X50 & First providing a replacement for Aston's 382

Plus the 420 route as well - looking at 6 to 7 more vehicles I would think

I think the First 420 is only a couple of supported journies, there are still suggestions DRM are taking over the full service

I don't know because it could be anything. There are going to be Volvos released from Hereford and there are also going to be mid-life single-deckers released from Leicester by new buses there, and then of course there is Worcester's new buses of its own. I think the final cascade plan is not yet set in stone so there are a huge number of possibilities. Some might be obvious, some less so.

The number mentioned to go to Stoke is either 15 or 18 of the E300s, the older ones.

First have registered from Worcester to Hereford to start in September running from Worcester Garage.
Midland Red West, one of the best Companies to serve Redditch, with some of the best buses.

I know, I posted the registration on here. Midlandred.net seems to suggest it's not the current full service, only a couple of tendered journies that WR are taking over

Hehe just look at 382 posts on there lol
I would say first will carry on with what it does on the 420 at present.
