I am not going to make any further comment on Ludlows of Halesowen it is clear in the earlier posts I have made on the forum in the Blackheath & Halesowen forum why I consider Ludlows a "joke" in Blackheath the matter is closed.

I think you need to get your facts right mate I have know the old owner of Ludlows and his family very well for many years how dare you go around slagging them off. They were a very well respected company by passengers, drivers and even bus and coach seen. If u have problem with his company and his family that's your issue but don't u dare start say stuff like that!! And for the record Minsterley one miserable driver and he works the 552/553!

30972 is now back at Kidderminster and has been on the 145 today.

Is DDN still the only one in the new livery?

Another Tividale bus in Kidderminster this morning this time 30003 don't know if it's replaced 30502?

30502 is on loan to Kidderminster from Tividale saw it on the 3 this morning.

Thanks. Two Optares on road for 318 service from 2 September, KX64AED and KX64AEO

Good luck trying to get all those kids on the 07:35 from Bromsgrove in school term time with a long Solo when I was route training on the 318 with Diamond that journey would have a long E200 and it was still full and standing after leaving Holy Cross and no I am not Exaggerating it would be full to capacity of the bus.

Is it cheaper Stourbridge- Kidderminster than Halesowen- Kidderminster?

Stourbridge to Kidderminster is cheaper due to it being a shorter distance.

Repaints have finally started at Kidderminster first to go was Wessex branded 30001 - WX07UOB which came back from Tividale the night before last in nice shiny blue.

When is the 2L being withdrawn, and any idea on who will run it instead?

R&B Travel of Clee Hill is taking over the 2L/292 contract from 16 April. I have been told that apparently R&B are investing in a brand new bus for the contract. But I will believe this when I see it. You also may notice the route has returned to its original route which is direct between Kidderminster and Bewdley via Bewdley Hill and WM Safari Park.

PD0001106/51 ALAN THOMAS RADNOR & LORRAINE ELIZABETH RADNOR, PLEASANT VIEW, KNOWLE, CLEE HILL, LUDLOW, SY8 3NL From: Kidderminster Bus Station To: Ludlow Via: Bewdley, Cleobury Mortimer Name or No.: 292 Service type: Normal Stopping / Hail & Ride Effective date: 16 April 2018 Other details: Monday to Saturday, except bank holidays

Diamond Kidderminster seem to be losing quite a bit of tendered work of late with the Droitwich locals And now these plus the 2L.

We have gained some work to.
