Guys, I wasn't saying it as a matter of fact, more a bit of wishful thinking now that the 44 is going, something different to retain that link. I don't see why anyone would be against an extension on the 18 though as the current route would not need to change in any way.

The 192 usually has one of the white Streetlites on there.

Yes, but 20186 is the most recent of the batch having only just arrived! ;)

20181 wasn't at Kidderminster, it entered service at Tividale. It was in the yard on the morning of the 25th October, and went out for the first time the day after.

Looks like the 250 hasn't served Hawbush or Brockmoor all morning (according to bustimes) due to an accident by Lidl Amblecote.

Really starting to despair with Kidderminster garage with regard to destination displays, does nobody in management care?

Regularly see buses on the 192 displaying route 7 on there as these two routes interwork. This also used to be an issue on the 1 and 10 when they interworked.

And 32223 has been on the 125 for the last two days with a blank front destination bind and Not In Service on the side and rear with not even a bit of paper in the windscreen to indicate the route.

It seems like the driver is forgetting to switch the blind, easy mistake to make.  With regards to 32223, this is my pet hate!  That's just laziness not having some sort of indication.

If you see or witness it on any operators services my advice would be to inform the operator directly so they can investigate and deal with it.

I have already raised the issue of wrong blinds a couple of months ago with them and got a standard reply saying they would advise drivers, so no point in doing that again.

I don't see the point of raising the issue with the blinds not working at all. If this has already been ignored  for a couple of days by engineers, drivers, Inspectors and Managers at the depot then sadly they obviously don't care. This shouldn't have to be raised by a member of the public.

The thing is though is that the faulty blind would have been picked up by a driver, who would have recorded the fault.  From then on, it is engineering's responsibility to ensure that the fault is rectified.  Possibly a lack of capacity in maintenance to do it straight away, which is why it's still out in service.
