I'm glad you've mentioned this bus - I had wondered if it had been taken back to Leicester.

- I like having at least one of these here at Worcester.

Is 32645 a transfer or a loan?

I hope it's a transfer, I'd rather have a nice B7 over the Tridents currently on there

I've got no preference. I'd be more interested in a big score if I get round to a Worcester bash

According to the posts on www.midlandred.net  (forum), it's just a loan.

(This info. is backed-up by the new edition of  British Bus Publishing's  First Bus Handbook, which has some "red-hot" allocations, including some of this batch)

IF you are referring to Worcester Warriors, Ashley, - the most likely "conversions" in prospect, are conversions to single-deckers for the fans transport,   ... unless ?

it's on a long term loan to cover for vehicle maintenance and will return to Leicester when it is no longer needed.

Saw an E200 on the 144 whilst waiting for a 61/3 in Northfield just after 3PM heading out of B'ham City direction towards Worcester. Are E200's unusual on a Sunday? (Haven't seen a E200 on there)

Volvo B7TL/Gemini 32632 has just been noted outside Stafford station on a 101. Presume Adderley Green have borrowed this?

Enviro 200 44511 was on the full 144 today as well.

32632 is on the 101 again, just noted it leaving Stafford station.

Not an unusual working, but I've just seen 67638 & 66698 in convoy heading up the A456 into Blakedown! Any ideas?

My GUESS would be -  were they heading to a specialist garage or similar prior to returning to the Summerfield MOT test centre ??

That would have been the only 101 journey I'd have ever enjoyed if I'd have been on that lol
