Sam the dda deadline for single deckers has already passed 1st January

Yes I know, but many of the buses mentioned above have been in use after that date, I was just wondering if some of them actually are DDA compliant, hence my question.

Sorry for the delay in response.  In all honesty I am not sure if any are DDA compliant.  We have assumed they aren't and we do not have a Certificate of Conformity.

A number of the vehicles could easily be made compliant.

Simon, thank you very much for your response as always. Its very pleasing as a passenger to see the vehicles mentioned above have now largely been replaced with considerably newer vehicles.

wonder if it is anything to do with road closures  around the area.   is that not about the time the town hall area in Kidderminster is due to finish.

Simon,

What is the reasoning in reducing 142 frequency? The times are impossible to memorise, and going to cause confusion.

This is a Commercial Bus Route.  However, ironically by Centro we have been asked not to disclose the intended service changes yet.  The objective from our changes is to improve service reliability and simplify the route.

Dear Trident,

We have some reliability issues with the service, the timetabling changes have been done to improve reliability

There will be changes to services 3, 143 and X3 from this date.

Service 3 (Kidderminster – Stourport – Areley)

The service will be revised to run at an even 15 min headway Monday – Saturday daytime.
During the weekday morning peak period it will run every 12 mins and Sundays every hour. The
duties/vehicles will also be scheduled to increase layover during peak periods.

Service 42 (Redditch – Bromsgrove – Kidderminster)

This is a new service substantially replacing the present service X3. From Redditch via the
existing service 143 route to Bromsgrove Rail Station, then via New Road to Bromsgrove Bus
Station and then existing service X3 route to Kidderminster Bus Station. Then the route will
perform a clockwise loop via Stourport Road, Kidderminster Hospital, Bewdley Road and Swan
Centre back to the Bus Station before returning to Redditch. The service will run every hour
Monday to Saturday daytime and three trips on Sundays.

Service 43 (Redditch – Bromsgrove)

This is a new service substantially replacing the present service 143. From Redditch via the
existing service 143 route to Stoke Road then direct to Charford and existing service 143 route
to Bromsgrove. Morrisons will no longer be served. From Bromsgrove the service will continue
to Sidemoor before returning back to Bromsgrove and Redditch. The service will run every hour

Both services 42 and 43 will serve the new Bromsgrove Rail Station Bus Interchange when that

Hi Simon,

Do Diamond have any plans to partially replace First's 147 service especially between Halesowen - Romsley or on to Bromsgrove?
