I have heard some rumours about what may or may not happen this year.

Don't think Hansons would improve the reliability of the 142 service, it needs extra time which can't be added otherwise you would need more than 2 buses.

My thought would be, as the 99 is supposed to be extended to Hayley Green, is to extend the 142 to Dudley via the 244 route and virtually bring back the old 242!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

However they unlike Diamond may be able to interwork it with another service meaning extra time can be added without excessive layover

you would have to interwork it with the 287 which is also 1/2 hourly, but still say you would have tight turnarounds if you did, unless you combined the 2 services??

Interwork 142 & 287 and put an extra bus out between them that way they both get a bit of extra time as opposed to the 142 having loads and the 287 not having any

I'm not sure the commercial 142 and part commercial 287 could bear the costs of an extra bus, even if split between 142/287. I also think it's unlikely Hanson's could simply take it over. It's a Diamond commercial service, not tendered, other than evenings and Sundays.

The 142 is another of those services that it will be interesting to see what happens at Bus Review time, pity Diamond didn't have anything at Halesowen that could interwork with it?

Not true. 4M cancelled and never served Halesowen anyway plus you've forgotten the 192.

And 002. Lol

Well clearly that doesn't terminate at Halesowen so you'd never interwork it would you  ::)

Didn't say it would, although on that note the 192 is at a different garage so wouldn't anyway. ;)

Well, had the plan been to interwork with the 192 (which wouldn't occur due to the 7 I know), then the 142 could have been kept at KR and then they wouldn't have been at different garages...  ;)

Unless you transferred the 192 to Kidderminster and had some kind of interworking where it went as follows

202...142...new service to Bromsgrove
192...142...new service to Kidderminster

The 202 would need putting back to xx30 off halesowen and the 192 to xx00 off halesowen

Or we could just get back on topic i.e. Hansons

I was merely commenting on what others were saying and providing a potential solution. O   s th t n    all w d?

At a guess off the 657?

1520 having a day on the 226 wonder what's in its place on the 318

I though there was only 1 bus that runs the 318 as it is every 2 hours
