Correct the 238 and 297 are now on separate running boards. The 238 was rerouted in the Cradley area to make it possible to be run reliably by 4 vehicles.

According to the Network West Midlands site, the 91 will be taken over by WMSNT from the 22nd April.

Thanks Tony, the return to the main site is a very useful feature.

Couldn't agree more, First's publicity is appalling, a far cry from the old MRW days! And apart from Whittles, I can't think of other operators who produce their own publicity.

What makes things worse in Worcestershire is that the County Council don't ready bother to do anything either. It makes getting hold of any kind of bus info very difficult for those who don't have ready Internet access.

I did contact the Council and suggested they could reintroduce the area Timetable books and maybe charge a small amount to cover the cost, but they said they couldn't do this because timetables change so often, which surely makes the point for better info more of a priority?

Seen the photo of 4176, I can't tell any difference between this and the standard red/white!

It only confirms in my mind how awful the livery is withall  that huge expanse of white. Please adopt the livery on 4177 as standard NX!

Local depot= Kidderminster (First MR)

Fave depot = Dudley -Many happy memories of being taken to visit by my late father, remember all those new Metrobuses and Lynxs' delivered in the late 80's.

Definitely remember going on a Hockley Mk1 Metrobus on the 258. I once took it all the way from Wolvo to Birmingham and at just over 2 hours long it was a very long alternative to the 126 and 79!

If you are having a problem with a route that is a Centro contract, then you really should complain to Centro. I am sure they would be very interested to hear any concerns on any routes that they are paying for.
