3 x 62 Plate ex Wessex Volvo B9TL/Gemini's are parked in KR depot - these were up for sale at Chartwell / being returned off lease. Mostly likely there for storage:

Are they still there, and are they owned by Rotala, or Chartwell ??

Note sure if Rotala are still leasing them or they have since been acquired outright, either way they're now staying with Rotala are going to Preston Bus via Tividale for prep & repaint

40603 is just a photo on their homepage, it's not listed in their sales section

Definitely an attention lapse. Apologies Winston!

Kidderminster locals:

Are 30813,30814,30815 still incredibly fast buses- mainly regarding acceleration?

Good to see 21105 being consistently used on the 142. Hopefully when it has a repaint or diamond fleet names applied it will be able to get on other routes.

Can someone explain the interworkings at Kidderminster as I was looking on the tracker the other day and saw buses flying here, there and everywhere.

One was on the 10, then the 7, then the 4 then the 192. It completely made me confused!

Also can someone explain how the 251/318/749 interworking works please?

Cheers

Now I'm going back a while here but I thought it was the 7 and 192 that inter worked.

The tracker is unreliable information for inter working. I would go to Kidderminster and work it for yourself instead watching a tracker all day. Takes the fun out of spotting

Can help you  out with  the 10 interworkings     the 10   becomes a 2  0r (2L at the moment) when it gets back the Kidderminster    and then the other way round .  there are  a few 2 i do not know what happens with as the 2 starts  a good bit earlier than the 10  the  2l journys  will become 2s to serve the estates  along the current route of the  2. as the  2L replacement  is going the direct route from Kidderminster . not  to sure about the others you  mention. but after the changes on the 16th  the timetable that is showing  for the new 4 as it is a different route show two runs in a morning and 3 in the afternoon . with local diai a ride  running a service 12  along there.suggest you look at this link to try to work out how the 12  operates ,
