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.

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.
