44511/4/5 DK57SPZ/MX07OZD/MX10DXU
With
a need for additional newer vehicles in the First
Group fleet they have in recent years turned to the
second hand market of buses mainly sold through the
vehicle dealer Ensignbus. In the summer of
2012 First acquired 6 Enviro 200 vehicles from
Ensignbus and two were allocated to Worcester.
They are
DX57 SPZ and
MX07OZD which were new with Leeway Bus Co of
Holywell in North Wales in November and March 2007
respectively. The vehicles arrived in Worcester on
the 29th and 30th August 2012 respectively in the
latest version of the corporate livery. Both
lacked local fleet names (which they were latter fitted
with) and fleet numbers. Both entered service quickly
though for a number of weeks neither carry fleet numbers
or any form of destination display other than pieces of
paper in the windscreen. On July 25th 2013 MX10DXU
arrived at Worcester. This vehicle had been operated by
Premier of Nottingham and arrived via Ensign Bus. The
vehicle was placed in store before it was prepared for
service. On Saturday 3rd May 2014 45511 was reallocated
to Hereford Garage from Worcester mainly to work a new
contracted service 34. On closure of Hereford Garage all
three vehicles ended up at Worcester Garage. They were
not the most reliable of vehicles and during the Summer
of 2019 all three moved to First PMT. livery.
