I'm really disappointed that the 192 is being cut back to Kidderminster to halesowen. I thought the extension to stourport reinstated some really useful links which hadn't been there since the days that Midland Red ran the 193 and X93 services.

Hopefully Diamond will look at commercially extending the 192 to Birmingham. A lot of links were lost when that service was split. Especially at peaks it was well used by passengers in Hayley Green and Hagley travelling to the city, and from experience when your boarded in Hayley Green it was reasonably busy and well used.

I used to drive the 192 in The BCC/Go Ahead days and apart from AM and PM peaks it was not that well used.......lovely route to drive though/
it's been a while....

I wouldn't look too much into it - it's probably in Kidderminster for MOT work I very much DOUBT it's moved to KR indef tbf I don't think Simon Dunn would be too pleased if he knew one of those had been transferred over...

For someone who says he would like to work for them again you do post some strange comments on a forum the management read!

There has possibly been a reduction in vehicles needed for the 2/2L service and Simon Dunn highlighted the extra spares at Kidderminster built up during November and December to prepare for any extra vehicle requirements. So with an increase of only about 3/4 vehicles max (7+192, perhaps 833 will link with other workings) there may not be any further buses transferred to Kidderminster. Don't forget 30202, 30203 and 30516 are yet to enter service.

Just a quick estimate Kidderminster appears to have around 35 vehicles allocated to it at present.

30202/3 were originally meant to be replacing MPD's & increasing the number of larger Darts @ KR
