First Bus - Wyvern

[Dylanbusboy45]

Yes the 35 did seem the best route for them. This is what I saw:(Didn't write the workings down so some are guessed  from what I remember and from my photos!)

47513:only saw parked up
47514:35?
47515:35
47516:Didn't see
47517:147?
47518:35
47519:Didn't see
47520:35
One thing I know is that they were all out as none were in the yard at Worcester unless they were being repaired etc in the shed at the back. Which streetlite did you see on a 144A?

Street lite on 144A/147 today. They look stunning!

[Dylanbusboy45]

Had you not seen one before? Yes I have to agree with you the livery is very good and makes them stand out against the Enviro 300s!

I wasn't paying attention to the fleet number of the Streetshite on the 144A. Apologies for not being helpful.

[Dylanbusboy45]

Never mind mate.

I have on another site that the 147 will divert via the Halesowen bypass to Hayley Green and then onto Halesowen.

Has anyone seen anything else about this?

Yes, on the Service Changes page on the NWM website

Timetable for the new 147 is up on Network West Midlands site now. I'd say this link will be more useful that the Mucklows Hill diversion. Should make the people of Hayley Green happy. Hopefully it will be used.

Not when they don't accept nbuses!

Having had a look at the timetable I actually think it would have been better if the 147 was to serve Halesowen first and then terminate at Hayley Green. I doubt whether passengers from Bromsgrove /Romsley wish to Divert through Hayley Green first.

Also, during peak times the A456 Halesowen bypass can get particularly busy with quite bad congestion towards the grange road island and so going to the town centre first would avoid this.

Some, new to Midland Red West, Mercedes mini-buses for sale from Cornwall here:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-Minibus-/221865604371?hash=item33a8387513

Judging by the seller's name, it could be that the operating company have set up their own ebay page to offload redundant assets. If so, it's good to see common sense prevailing.
