In the December 2017 PSV Circle newsletter (I am a month behind on my reading!), there is reference to K400 MMS (formerly BA04 GHA) a VDL SB120 with Wrights B38F body arriving from Minsterley Motors circa September 2017 to Whittles.

Has anyone seen this bus, and it is a bus as opposed to a coach working for Whittle anywhere?

OK thanks Winston.

So possibly this bus is regularly used on this Worcester Uni P & R by Whittles on behalf of sister company to Johnsons as Johnsons actually have the contract?

This plain white vehicle is working in Stratford on Avon this morning on service 5 for Johnsons. Johnsons legal lettering on a piece of paper.

Whittles have a Merecedes-Benz Tourismo BF67WLG on demo. This is the first time I have seem them use a demo.
Sometimes they are short of coaches and use coaches from Johnsons or Minsterley.
They had SF07XNU (no.26) last year and had YN10AAY earlier this year.

Whittles are running a duplicate alongside Arriva on the 0733 436, presumably to aid with overcrowding during school peaks.
