I can not remember  hansons running a Kidderminster merry hill  service.
  There was  a midland red west one 234 or 242 can not just remember  number

Then there was two whittles ones x94 /x95   one started in bridgnorth  the other started in stourport , later cut down  to one starting in Kidderminster think it used the x94 number  latter  taken over by choice travel  .  going back  a good few years

Hanson's did a few years ago doing two return trips to merry hill plus a short to Stourbridge on Saturday and Sunday only.

They ran direct merry hill to Stourbridge down the 228 route, then via the Norton Estate and Norton Road down Kidderminster.

Yes that's right. Unlike the 125 it ran via Kidderminster Station.

Can't remember whether Hansons 252 or the 125 extension came first.

252 came first followed by the 125 extension, bringing a 10 year gap of No direct stourbridge to Kidderminster bus to a end (thanks to First cutting that link)
