Just seen this on the NWM website:

It appears Central Buses are taking on the 125

Only between Stourbridge & Kidderminster it seems, be interesting to see who takes on the rest of the route.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I would have expected that section of the 125 to have been of the most interest to Diamond.

Central Buses have a bit of dead mileage havent they?

Do they have any other Dudley area work?

Correct. Interesting to see they're taking on the 87. All previous competitors have failed on this route, so it will be interesting
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Presumably, with just an hourly frequency, only one bus will be required, although presumably crew changes will have to take place.

Central Buses did run the 007 between Halesowen and Bromsgrove for quite a while.  They have no doubt factored in the dead running in their tender price.

And they had a break in the timetable for luncheon

are  they allowed to  do that then ?.  is it a way  of  reducing driver  changes during the day ?

The 007 had a hour break in it since Midland Rider ran it. The break was after a Oakhalls short to Bromsgrove at about 1230Sri. After lunch it did a short to Oakhalls then back to halesowen.
