Surprised to see they have repainted 30410 into the new livery. Looks very smart.

I understand it was hand painted at KR depot.

These drivers are starting to despise the streetlites, especially the 2013 ex first ones. Spoke to a driver as I was going to Stourbridge on the 25 and hes had 2 buses faulty all ready. One leaked water all over the seats (SM13 NAE) and he said another one was having brake problems. I see why everyone says that the streetlites are utter rubbish because they are.

I've  a few of them on the 142/142A and they have got some power the ones i've been on. Managed to not struggle up a lot of the steep hills!

The Stourport corridor/Route 3 is going up to every 15 minutes in the new year. 

I'm at loss as to what the new peak time service for Birchen Coppice on route 3 and peak time service for Bewdley on route 8 refers to. As they already operate during the peak hours.
I guess maybe they are going to operate some short/part route peak extras?

Its a little clearer on the Diamond website. The 8 and 3 will have earlier journeys into Kidderminster (Mon-Sat on the 8 and Mon-Fri on the 3).  You can now download the timetables too.

They missed the Sunday journeys operated by Redditch off the timetable @Simon Dunn ?

Also notice on there, there will no longer be any changes to the 145/145A.

I have only just seen this.

The below link shows we are continuing to operate 145, in its current form.
