Edit:67647 is repainted with 67663 the next one to be repainted

If you read it Dylan, it says 67647 is repainted, 67663 was meant to go the opposite way

35188/189/191/192/37158 are at Worcester for use on London midland rail replacements.
Of the buses I saw, 35189/191/192 were out today and the buses seem to change quite frequently despite the 2 services (Bromsgrove-Droitwich & Longbridge-Bromsgrove) only running every hour

At least 4 maybe 5 Plaxton Centros were on the 144/A today. Not seen that many on there before but I don't see the 144A much so they may be quite common on the 144A.
66691/8 on 144
66696/9 on 144A
Think I saw another which could have been on either 144 or 144A

Edit: 144/A interwork so they would all have been on 144 and the 144A at some point

First are also running Droitwich to Barnt Green via Bromsgrove, and are also required to have two vehicles on Stand By all day. Normally this is at Bromsgrove but quite often one is sent to Longbridge and is on Stand By there. Towards the end of next week, First will also be working Rail Replacement from Redditch and Cheltenham.

Thanks for the info @AdamH. I was wondering whether First would be on the Redditch ones and it does make sense for them to be.

Oh right. I didn't know that, thanks @Ashley 60171  :)

67661 that will be. 67648 is standby at Redditch after 63360 knocked its wing mirror off near Barnt Green which then smashed the doors according to driver. 63360 now back in depot having been partly replaced by 67648. A Leicester Streetdeck will also be out in a bit. Apparently doing 1343 Redditch-Bham all stops except Bournville. I think this Streetdeck will be doing what 63360 would have done
Edit: Leicesters 35188 is the Streetdeck
Edit (2) : 67656 has now appeared too
