An Unexpected visitor to Mary Stevens Park yesterday was this Volvo B12B/Plaxton Panther operating the 125 instead of the usual Dennis/Dart



Whats the least expected visitor you have seen??

Whittle have also put a coach on the 192 as well. This one has been on it at least twice,

Evening all,

I'm not sure if anyone knows this but Whittle Coach & Bus Ltd of Kidderminster have recently had ex-EYMS fleet no.334 (Y213 HWJ) transferred from EYMS to KidderminsterSee here -> (http://www.eyms.co.uk/content/enthusiasts/vehicle.aspx?intvehicleid=112) Should I see anymore "new" additions to Whittles I will post them here.

- Will, Kidderminster

They have also acquired the below vehicle from Central Buses.

Kind Regards

Does anyone know how much it costs for an adult fare on the 192 between Halesowen and Stourport (a return fare if possible or whatever is cheaper if they do a day ticket) I have tried their website but no information is there on any fare prices. Thanks in advance.

Those wonderful people at Traveline don't seem to have caught up with the sale to EYMS yet, still showing services as operated by RA & DL Whittle.
;
EYMS MB 418 YX51MUO was in service last week at Kidderminster still in EYMS livery.

Might be because they are propering to start a war on diamond for services like the X3 303 and then maybe some Services in Redditch to interwork with the X3. Just a thought....
Midland Red West, one of the best Companies to serve Redditch, with some of the best buses.

This could prove to be very interesting.  After all Whittles are a much more recognised name in Kidderminster as opposed to Diamond Bus... and lets not forget that Whittles saw First withdraw off the 1 Kidderminster - Rifle Range circular a few years back.

I imagine things are going to hot up on the 2 & 3 routes in particular, with perhaps Whittles also moving in on the 10 Spennels route as well.

Whittle's may as well seize the opportunity, I don't think Rotala will have much muscle.....

If we're honest about it, if just redditch on its own had been for sale, rotala would probably have just bought that and not kidderminster as its redditch they were clearly after.

I agree, I think it was Redditch & Kidderminster together or nothing for prospective bidders
