Appears to be reduced to just 1 vehicle from the end of April!

Saturday service has also been dropped. Which isn't a surprise considering all these other related companies don't do Saturdays either.

What's the point in reducing service just for said related companies to fill in the gap?

As for vehicles being withdrawn I wouldn't be surprised if it was the dual doored buses getting the chop, they are after all non-standard to the rest of the overall fleet picture.

Although the timetables at the bus stops are showing new timetables from 22nd April Sunny appear to be running to the previous timetable with 103 and 105 in service today. The new timetable shows only one Sunny bus needed as has already been reported on this site.

Are sunny travel, RKT and DTS all the same company!? Is the reason they register under different names to fiddle taxes?

The Dart that operates the Sunny Travel timetabled trips - KV03ZFU, was displaying "72 Solihull via Redleys" today,
rather than the registered 71E route number that is shown on the timetables and flags.
It most certainly also operated the Sunny Travel 15:51 trip from Solihull to Chelmsley Wood.

Presumably the reason they've kept this old route number (whilst DTS and RK use the 72 route number) is because like DTS and the 966 they don't want to pay for the flags to be changed.
