As they say, use it or lose it. Also, the articles says it runs hourly. I'm pretty sure it is two hourly.

Two trips a day each way.

Two return trips from merry Hill to Gornal and one return trip from quarry bank to Gornal

Yes, Kidderminster operate the new 267 & 657 Centro contracts. KR have 4 x E300's

I believe 267/657 contracts should be operated by small wheelbase vehicles (8.5 m) due to road size restrictions to avoid driving on pavements!

I did see a Redditch Dart on the 30 in Acocks Green displaying "1 Rifle Range" a couple of months ago.
Also saw a Streetlite on the 30 displaying "25 Ward End Fox And Goose " a couple of months ago.
