Now for something different in Worcester this morning, judging by its appearance every few minutes a lightly trafficked and frequent service, First were operating a skeleton service unlike most regions who are keeping the flag flying and keeping a regular service which will be easy to upgrade to include all school and college children who it seems may have longer hours or less holidays so more for the bus company. Firsts decision to operate old bangers and a rag tag and bob tail mix reflects on a decision to burn them at some stage to get rid of any infection, Warrington had a similar strange mix ex Ensigns on their previous lock down, this time a much fuller service. The weather today was the thing, far too much sunshine at Worcester it was supped to be cloud all day per BBC forecast , it was very warm 16degC just 15 at Kidderminster. The wind was much more evident than indicated in the outlook, I battled through it but it wasn't easy. Met some fellow enthusiast drivers at Kidderminster. A short stop at Stourbridge to top up on footage, the presence of Nat Express West Midlands ensures a more full service scheduler is being followed. I' staying put tomorrow we have shopping to do and I've been blown about enough today, Friday does had potential for truck filming, I'm hoping next week brings better weather less wind and some calm after the storms, the electricians are supposed to be coming to fix the electrics post flood damage. It is always nice to see at least one new bus in the day and here it is! Diamond still has a bit of a dolly mixture of liveries but it brings a bit of interest to a non double deck location. Ahh, decker territory and better schedules but still that blasted wind! Comments are closed.
