Is it just me, or has the Redditch Standard Webpage broken down and failing to operate its advertised service?

It only involves 3 school services from 11th March i.e. S57, S91 & S94

Is the 42 the 143 re-numbered?? There's no record of a 42 on Diamond's website

IGO run a 42 around Rubery, Frankley and West Heath. So that does not help much. Maybe a typing error ??    :o

This seems to be more like it with the vehicles off the Webbs workings going through to Marlbrook instead ??  :)

142 and 143 all Diamond are doing is re routing and numbering routes. Why I have no Idea. What people in Redditch don't like is flaming number changes for no reason at all and this is a case in point. the 142 Redditch to Marlbrook, 143 Redditch to Lickey End, X3 (X33) Kidderminster to Redditch later Aryle Kings to Redditch was fine. but 42 43 make no sense to anyone even more so when you add in 47 48. Some folk already think the 47 is a short version of the 247 or 147. Diamond have lost touch with the people of Redditch i.e. the older people who have known Midland Red West numbers for many years and I am fedd up telling Diamond this and yet they know better. Well judging by the lack of people on buses I think they don't and please please can people not tell me its not like that is this where they are I don't care. I have had enough of Diamond and there new ideas, but when Asda Redditch ask for the 64 to come closer to the store they don't but change other routes it pisses me off.
Midland Red West, one of the best Companies to serve Redditch, with some of the best buses.

You're forgetting the numbers Diamond brought back eg 67. Original Redditch numbers were R7/R8 etc weren't they?

They've obviously been re-numbered in to the current Redditch series of 40's / 50's or 60's typically. I assume the 42/43 will be co-ordinated is to provide a half hourly frequency over common sections between Redditch & Bromsgrove and the X3 has ultimately been re-numbered as it will no longer serve Arley Kings instead terminating at Kidderminster General.
