Maybe coming to KEV's

Surely this will all end in tears forcing more passengers into cars. If the services commencing on Tuesday actually happen then in an 140 minute time span we will have 7 First buses, 2 NatEx buses and two Kevs buses all operating between Bromsgrove and Catshill. That equals on average a bus every 13 minutes which is a higher frequency than most urban services. This will prove to be unsustainable with who knows what result. The average number of passengers per day boarding between Catshill and Rubery and reverse at the moment is less than 20 so a lot less than the numbers that have signed the petition, which I hear is 3000, so if everyone of those uses the bus once every week it is only 11 passengers per trip. Perhaps the odds are that First will eventually withdraw within the six months and terminate at Bromsgrove leaving NatEx with a 70 minute headway so what will they do then, go every hour using two buses or decide not worth it an pull out leaving passengers high and dry again ??

Happy to hear from Johnsons drivers looking for work, no evenings and no Sundays

If that is correct then not worth doing especially if First are still going ahead with their 144A to Catshill. Our proposal was Bromsgrove to Longbridge peak with Bromsgrove Morrison off peak

Will First now deregister 144A to Catshill and terminate at Bromsgrove ? Will NatEx be able to do the service with one bus, if so they will need to speed up the existing 144 timetable ? What fare structure will apply if First continue 144A ? 

Water pump went today. it must be missing home 

A commercial service for Kev's??

No chance the amount of passengers between Catshill and Rubery is exceptionally low. No advantage to another operator unless they run Bromsgrove/Rubery and as First have registered half hourly Catshill Worcester that is very unlikely

For those of you that like something different from Thursday onwards vehicles, other than those on the 39 which already have normal machines, will be using hand held Ticketer machines. These have kindly be supplied to us free of charge by Ticketer whilst they build new machines to replace those lost in the fire

Kevs all back to normal from tomorrow, Wednesday 6 April hopefully

MOT prep
