@Tony, I came across some of your pictures on flickr a few weeks ago don't know if you are aware but here is one: https://flic.kr/p/sTCLRR - there are a few more on his page aswell

Kidderminster-based 30120 (B14 WTS) on the 143 in Redditch just seen it pull into Redditch Bus Station

Went passed Kiddy garage last night and noticed 30426 (S397 HVV) & 20503 (T71 JBA) have now departed

30878 (SN10 CDF) still at Kidderminster popped into Asda yesterday afternoon & went to have a nosey through the fence at Diamond after and it was parked the Asda side of the yard I'm assuming it must only be on loan

@StourportSam they usually display that when the bus needs some attention by the mechanics when they get to depot

@the trainbasher - I've known some Kidderminster drivers display it instead of "Sorry! I'm Not In Service" although as it is I prefer the latter!

again after this point I gave up & didn't bother writing down any futher modes of transport!

Did it every leave?

I know it was VOR for a while, did it go somewhere else for a repair then?

Well yes I assume it must of done I myself thought it had been transferred elsewhere also 30878 (SN10 CDF) has made a return to Kidderminster saw it pull into the bus station this afternoon.

30851 BU08 DBX in Kidderminster yesterday.

Sam,

Yes I saw it pull into Kidderminster Bus Station on Friday lunchtime I am assuming 30851 &  30856 have transferred to KD in preparation for the 202 coming back on the 23rd of this month I hope some more of those move across although I assume at some stage B20 WTS will make an appearance.
