Y263KNB on the last 192 off Halesowen.

Apparently the 0728 off Halesowen this morning was a no show, or nowhere near its time. (I cannot verify this)
might be because  it's listed as school days only

Today was a school day as far as bus timetables are concerned. Most schools went back today. Any that did not go back today would have done so due to professional development days (briefing/training for staff) which would not have an effect on buses except those dedicated to a particular school (which the 192 is not).
the 7.28 from Halesowen runs to wolverly school (just looked) the new 833 to same school ran , I saw it because it pass my place ,  can not understand it then does the 192 get affected by road works at hagley . do not go up that way that much so do not really know asking out of interest

Are vehicles being fitted with radios. as a bus I was on today  there was a two way radio just above drivers head, just wondered if this is something new or left from previous owner, I have seen several buses with Aeriel's on the roofs,
I was on a bus today with a Redditch sticker on the ticket machine , wonder if it's a loan or transfer

Tividale used to have radios, not sure if they still do?

Cedric,

Well spotted all though I can confirm that the radios don't work in ANY of the Kidderminster vehicles

I was on 30203 yesterday and it was an excellent bus i.e. warm and comfortable and unlike most of the other buses it took the hills between Holt Heath and Stourport in it's stride and didn't go slow at any point. In my opinion it's got to be one of the best buses in Kidderminster at this moment in time.

Did you see if it had had ramps retrofitted?
