RKT Travel

[Eric Shaw]

KV03ZFS now has a piece of paper saying it belongs to RKT Travel. That makes 3 RKT and 1 Sunny although I couldn't see any sign of ownership on KV03ZFU.last time I saw it.The timetable may have changed but that can't be relied on as in Yardley the 73 is still shown as going to Solihull Station and a few stops still have 59a on the flag.

KV03ZFS on the 72 today, apparently on one of the RKT duties. Last time I saw it was on the 966. Could be a spare for the Sunny group.

I doubt, it the companies are run seperately. They never swap buses or drivers round. I believe it was said on here that when the buses are moved between the companies they're actually sold between them and it certainly doesn't happen that often.

KXZ 4299 and KV03ZFS have been the vehicles used on the 72 recently with NA52AWZ being the Social contribution to the service.

I travelled on KXZ 4299 on the 24th December on the72. This may have been the last day RKT and Discount operated the 72 as I didn't see any out on the 30th or 31st. KXZ 4299 was the only one I saw on the 24th.

They were out on the 31st although not for very long, I think they went home about 1 ish

Good to see bus in selly oak running NIS towards cotteridge

Saw a white dart on the 11A still with "Chelmsley Wood" and "Solihull" on the rear, from the 72 service, that they no longer run on, at Fox and Goose at around 17:50.

Saw a white dart on the 11C still with "Chelmsley Wood" and "Solihull" on the rear, from the 72 service, that they no longer run on, at Fox and Goose at around 17:50.

A couple still have that

Think RK Travel were back on the 11A today. After a nearly 5 months suspension due to COVID 19. As sure I saw a white dart at Ward End following the 11A route earlier.

[Lukeeee2018]

There was a bus on the 11A which was tracking earlier on as well.

Registration for RK Travel says cancelled. I guess they can be moved to the ceased operator section on the main site, as they haven't ran for some time now.

Their licence is still intact therefore I'd suggest they were more dormant than ceased at this moment in time.
