I'd reckon £5.50 ish, not sure. Probably easier to just buy a Wyvern at £6.50

How far can you travel on a swift card with first

I'm guessing on the 147 from Halesowen the boundary point would be Romsley and on the 144 I'm guessing it would be either Rubery or Frankley

Don't think they even accept Swift? Or is it just the nBus tickets they don't accept?

If they did then logic would be Rubery Church on the 144 and the first stop after Manor Way on the 147, as those points are where the Worcs Connecta tickets are valid from

Not accepted, I believe they still accept nNetwork tickets although not nBus.

Worcester Solo 53046 on London Midland Rail Replacement today (Stourbridge Junction - Stourbridge Town). I'll upload the pic on Tuesday.

Seen in Stourbridge while waiting for 2105 on the 276 to Wollaston Junction.

67661 had broke in Halesowen on 147. Wonder how long the replacement would take

What time? I saw 67658 NIS on Manor Way heading towards Halesowen from the motorway junction at 1:05. I did wonder if it was off to replace another bus.

Ah... so it seems it's not exactly been saved. After looking on Traveline, I can see the Worcestershire County Council Fleet Services will be running the 147, but only between Halesowen and Catshill around every 2 hours. The link beyond Catshill into Bromsgrove and on to Worcester has unfortunately been lost.

I was rather hoping that Worcestershire CC would subsidise First on the Halesowen to Catshill section and retain the link to Worcester.  :-\

Bit of a blast from the past, graphed ex Midland Red West Lynx G126HNP today in Colchester which is being used as their SOS bus which I think is used to help out drunks at night! Doing well for SOS buses recently having graphed the Southend one G649EKA last week.
