Former 002 branded 30806 (WX58 FRV) has made an appearance in Kidderminster today the blue paintwork was gleaming on the 3's and X3 but the hanover displayed "Welcome Aboard" and a piece of paper was in the window displaying "X3" so I assuming it still has Tividale routes programmed into it I also assume that this is one of the new additions to Kidderminster...

No!!!! I really like 806 on the 002

Also had a journey on 20849 (KU52 RYH) tonight with my mate on the 3's and it's utterly terrible it's slow, sluggish and struggles to pull away from junctions etc and for what it's worth it's pretty much fit for the scrapyard!

Still displaying the X3 paper but nothing in the "blind" today and having problems re-starting in Bromsgrove bus station around 11.15.  Bus full of unhappy looking passengers.  :o

142 has moved to stand A in Stourbridge

Is that permanent? Also I remember the days of the stourbridge shuttle, I did like the branding and solos all be it a bit busy at times, and sometimes unreliable

Looks like it is. Stourbridge Shuttle was a bit before me, back then only buses I paid attention to were my school buses and the 9/99

Go on main site 20539 had it,you will recognise it I think
