The information you are referring to is in the Kidderminster thread @mark114.

That's a bit strange - so (as you alluded to I think) the Birchfield/Overslade Cres etc area have to go outbound to go inbound! Or more likely, walk to Brownshill Green Rd or Norman Place Rd. Did Johnson's/NXC's 42 go around Holloway Field - I suppose they must have done?!

The Holloway Field removal was on the cards, around the time of the 2012 review, but didn't come to fruition.

Just seen shiny new van on 42
Wonders of modern technology tell me it was 21216

Also that it travels empty to and from Brum in the rush hour when previously the vehicle was efficiently used as a school bus!

That Mellor does a 50 (0806 from City I think) in the morning and then runs dead from Maypole to Coventry.

Before the 23rd February, that 0806 journey would be operated by a Solihull bus and then run dead from Maypole to Solihull to begin service on the S1.

Very Interesting!, the tracker seems to indicate outbound journeys were incorrectly running via Swallowdean Road and Coundon Green.  ::)

The only reason Redditch might need 9 is because they keep breaking them....

Two 66 plate Solo's just been brought over to Maypole. Looks like two of the new Streetlites are having problems today.
