20113 - Y3 JPT on the 192 today.

All three Kidderminster Centros out in force today. By chance I caught B15 WTS to work and am now sat on WX58 FRU coming back from work, both on the 3 and both doing their best to sound as knackered as possible. B15 WTS had to have the engine restarted this morning before it moved again after a simple bus stop.

As an aside - the 0822 service 3 ex Areley Kings failed to run today - reason cited by the driver of the 0837 was the ongoing driver shortage.

I was at the Stourbridge Line User Group AGM at the SVR in Kidderminster tonight. The representative from Worcestershire County Council was saying how they are now having constructive talks with Diamond about improvements to the Kiddie network and the relationship between the Council and Diamond has massively improved over recent months. :).

This will include improved links to the Rail Station, but hopefully this will be before the new Station and Bus Interchange is built which is due to open in Spring 2018!

It might be 30704 but there is one at the back on the depot VOR as well. Deffo 57 in the reg so could well be as above.
