 Are they just coming off bus work or closing down completely ??   I am lead to believe they have around 20 vehicles.  :)

Next Saturday, as well as the loco hauled set, the normal service will be double! - Two 153s in multiple.

Had a "retro" journey from Bromsgrove to Brum one morning recently. A 153/150 combo - still had to stand all the way though.  :(

@Alex and there were more enthusiasts on than people going to watch the game! It's happening again on the 12th of March.

Noted "Jed" on TV this morning, going for the haulage/mileage no doubt . . . . . .  8)

 Type BC65WCU into the Flickr photo site for more details ! ! They look to be getting into NX coach work big time . . . . . . . ;)

Is the 42 the 143 re-numbered??

This seems to be more like it with the vehicles off the Webbs workings going through to Marlbrook instead ??  :)

IGO run a 42 around Rubery, Frankley and West Heath. So that does not help much. Maybe a typing error ??    :o

I can confirm that unless MRD have acquired anything else in the last fortnight that the above are the only two vehicles operated. Both N922NAP and R901WLG have "gone", both being noted around five weeks ago heading south on the M5 on the back of a lorry.  :-\   I would guess scrapyard bound - unless any one knows otherwise.  :)   

 Has anyone seen any of the Wicksons vehicles with new operators ?  Wicksons vehicles always seemed tidy and well looked after.  :)

Noted in Alcester this morning was ex Trent / Notts & Derby Volvo bus M129PRA with a paper version of the legal lettering saying Meadway are running this vehicle.  I also saw similar vehicle L126LRA at pretty well the same time, can anyone confirm they have the two ??  ??   :-\

20263 was also there on service 1.

I travelled on 20263 yesterday on a 143 working. :)

Mercs  N922NAP seems to have "gone", no sign of it the last two time I have gone past MRD's premises.  :)

Went past the depot at Kiddy this afternoon and wow, how many vehicles ?? Is there room at night to park all the buses used during the day as well  ??   :o

@SEVERNLINK - Thanks for the info.

  YX04LJJ is the LDV mini-bus. It was last operated by Collins of Cambridge and was still that operators livery when I last saw it.

Does anyone on this forum know what buses that MRD currently have in their bus fleet. Thank you.

Only the Solo as far as I know. The "Gaffer" is a friendly guy, always get a wave or thumbs up from him when he drives past.  :D

YG 02 FVX has been operated by MRD of Catshill since last April on Bromsgrove Town Services.   :)
