Diamond West Midlands - Kidderminster

[PM]

Thanks for that advice, the 192 is a nice ride. How much is a diamond ticket?

Also what route can I find longer darts on?

No problem at all!

As Reece has said, £6.20 adults, £4.20 child. Good value based on the distances you can cover in a day... Not over in Kidderminster, but the 247 is a nice ride from Redditch to Evesham.

If you want SLF's, what I tend to do is go between Stourport and Kidderminster town centre and then there's actually something to do/see when waiting for the next bus.

Hope that helps!

20573 - taken out of service in Halesowen at 15:22 arrived at 15:30 in Halesowen and was told it was broken down and waiting for a replacement. It seemed to be fine so whether it wasn't broken and just wanted to get back on time I don't know

However another blue diamond mpd arrived at 15:36 but then didn't see it as it stayed at the bottom of the stands for ages.

Service was 142

Didn't think it had left? I've been to work on it a few times on the 3 in the past few weeks?

The fleetlist isn't correct, it is missing the Rotala's Jan fleetchanges, on paper 30805 was also transferred to KR during that month, but has never made physically transferred. 30512 should also be shown as at KR

30704: Long Acre (This bus was last seen in Kidderminster on Monday 30th March it was sitting in the Kidderminster Depot and that was the last time I saw 704. But on the Saturday 28 March it ran a 20 mins late 07:04 dep 192 to Halesowen when it returned to Kidderminster the driver could not restart the engine so it was left sitting in Kidderminster Bus Station for the rest of the day.  ::)
