Exactly my point, if not First who else is there to take them over if they were stripped from Diamond. The 303 is commercial anyway
Johnsons, Whittles they have plenty of space in there depot in Kiddy and I know they want Kidderminster work as well but like other companies they are put off because of Diamond.

Central buses possibly,  don't they have an out station in Stourbridge to help reduced dead milage also

A report in the Worcester News has stated that Diamond have lost the contracts for three school services but have kept the contract for a fourth route.

Perhaps that has been turned into a rumour about all tendered services.

Never gonna happen. I would actually be so surprised, it doesn't seem like NX to just randomly branch off. I mean they have no real background there. They had previous in cannock hence the 54.

WMPTE ran the X92 in 1986, using Leyland Lynx (Hereford and Worcestershire tendered service).

I have a photo I took on 2 May 1988 of 2359 (LOA359X) cresting Clee Hill on the 92 to Hereford (no X on blind)

When were Wmt/Twm/Nx buses first able to display X as part of a service number?

When they stopped using the old Birmingham City Transport A-L suffixes and changed to the A/C for circulars and E for short workings.

These reels had A C E N S W X on in addition to 0-9

It was the X92 when this photo was taken and 1066 hadn't got an X on the blinds
