I guess it depends if the buses are owned or leased?

If you look at the timetable on WCC website LMS Travel were doing a W3 Circular from Sixways Park & Ride

I saw 5 Woosh buses (4 Solos and 1 Dart) heading up the M5 north today near Junction 2 so I guess these are either returning to the rental company, or if owned have now been sold.

According to the latest Bus News from Worcestershire CC, Woosh will rise from the dead to operate a revised 15 between Bewdley and Stourport Tesco from 15/12/14 http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/downloads/file/4244/latest_bus_service_changes (after downloading, click on Wyre Forest link). I knew Whittle was giving up the 2A/C, but they hadn't said that they were giving up their 15.
