MX56HYA on the 125 this morning in Kidderminster heading to Bridgnorth. I will upload the photos to Flickr later on. 8)

It must be a fair amount of dead mileage for Central to get over to Kiddy or Bridgnorth to start the 125.

How are they making it worthwhile operating over there?

Some how Central make it work for them the 125 is very profitable sometimes so it's recovered via fares. Also Central factored in the cost of this when they bid for the 125.

Just to say no 125 Central services run empty to or from Bridgnorth only to/from Stourbridge or Kidderminster early in the morning and later on in the evening.

It would be instructive to know how the subsidy for the Kidderminster-Bridgnorth section that Central are getting compares with what Whittle received.
;
Presumably the Stourbridge end was profitable given the fact it was registered straight away.

I believe there is an outstation near Lye to operate 2 of the 3 vehicles required for 125.

I see one of the Versas most weekday mornings just after 8 running dead from M5 J3, stops at the filling station by the Black Horse on Manor Way.

presumably the same one I see sometimes heading up the A34 towards Scott Arms in the morning
