Just stepped out of Stafford station to see KX14FJO pull away with 879 on the rear, but couldn't see any legals or fleetnumber.

Bustimes shows 42 SN16OSW.

Thanks - a little surprised to see a decker lying over in Stafford Pitcher Bank at lunch time given it's school holidays.

It makes sense select giving the 242 up because its at least 30 mins away from the depot, diamond are more closer meaning if a vehicle breaks down diamond are able to cover it quicker or get a mechanic our quicker with having 2 depots near Stourbridge meaning a engineer from kiddy or tividale could go out to it.

My understanding is that Kiddy will be running it and the 242S. The 242 will have additional journeys.
