Are 30802 and 30803 actually operating in Kidderminster?

I thought 30164 was a loan.

Don't forget the likes of 20252 which was in use last week...

252 isn't DDA compliant hence why that and the others aren't included as for 30164 well who knows it might be permanent it's been here nearly 4 weeks!

20833 is operational from Redditch

[StourportSam]

30164 was on the Sunday 3/X3 yesterday, so I assume this is now back at Redditch.

Just seen 20252 on the X3...

Yeah I was told last week that 2 buses were due to go back to Redditch last week and one of them would definitely be the Streetlite. And 20252 was being used on Friday after 30930 engine wouldn't restart at Kiddy bus station.

[StourportSam]

30637 also back from the dead (again) on the 3 this evening.

[Trident 4194]

You guys are lucky in Kidderminster. Wish I could have one last trip on 20252, that was a great bus.
Never been able to go on 30637 unfortunately

Yes, both are great buses, I've been sorry to see a lot of the darts go.

I disagree with you when it comes to 30637 it is a terrible bus and smells of oil when you sit at the back. Meanwhile 20252 is a brilliant little ALX200 it flys especially when I was on it on the 303 on Friday down the A449 THRASH!

[Will]

20252 on the 303 yesterday afternoon
30637 on the 833 this afternoon

non-DDA compliant buses still being used (hit & miss) in service the latter (833) I know is not so important as it's a school service

[Will]

20610 (KP54BYW) has been on the 10 most of this afternoon
