they  seamed  ok to me when I have been on them

20654 up the Hayley mile is painful. Also the metal sticks into your back. 20136 was quite nice with a very friendly driver

Agree 20654 is awful. 20136 is a great bus I think. It has the higher standard interior like the ex First Darts, even tinted windows.

Mpds on the 192 is not great though. I caught 20136 on the 192A, pretty tight roads around there, could you get a full size single decker around there?

A Centro was on the 192A the other day so yes!

Blimey!
@Trident 4194 Hi mate I wouldn't be that surprised really I saw 30806 on the 192A a few months back and that's a full size Plaxton Centro.

As far as I am aware that's a typo and both services will still serve the Town Hall but after starting from the bus station.

I work on Vicar Street so am very aware of the redevelopment work!

The new timetable includes departure times for the town hall after the bus station starting point times. The 10 at least still serves the the town hall, you may be right about the 2/2L - the new timetable is not up yet. I think the plan with changing the starting point was to reduce the congestion of waiting buses. The 10 and 2/2L can often sit at the stand for 5-10 mins.

When the 2/2L and 10 services move to the bus station , am I right in thinking that will just leave the 1 and the  3 and the 4a and the X3 in the stourport direction
using the town hall as a start and finish point.

The X3 to Redditch no longer serves the bus station. This has been the case since the 2014 timetable change. The Redditch X3 sits waiting time at the same stand as the 10 these days causing congestion.

Seen this evening the new timetables (1/9/15)  posted  on the boards by the stops  at the town  hall  while waiting  for the last 2L of the day  and  the 2/2L does not show on any of the boards  so they are not serving town hall , nor the 192 , every other bus service  in Kidderminster  is listed .  and man centro 30802 is  in service in Kidderminster now
