Kev's Cars & Coaches

[igogeneral]

The route will now go in and out by the same route thus serving Oakalls both ways which seems sensible to me.
According to data picked up by the present operator the average load on the early morning journeys is less than 1 on average so the Council felt it not economical to run

Hi Mr. igogeneral , I have noticed a website notification saying the Kev's are acquiring 4 x 06 reg  Primo's from East Yorkshire.  Can you confirm this please ? Thanks. ANDREW.

Steven Knight Media has these as YX06 HVJ/L/M/N

   Always worth a quick look at the above site.  :D

Hi all, nice to see Kev's on the forum. 147 service starts operating 26 February probably using one of the existing Primo's.

Primo KX06LXP worked the inaugural service this morning. Worth noting the two minute turn a round at Halesowen.  8)

2 minutes at Halesowen but 24 at Bromsgrove Station and yes, we have acquired 4xPrimo from EYMS which they had owned from new. 147 went well today with Mr Scerri at the helm.
2 drivers needed if anyone interested at hourly rate in excess of any local operators.

Can a Worcestershire County Connecta ticket be purchased on the 147 from Halesowen?

Slightly unusual bus being used on 147 today. New bus for the route?

[B61 ANDREW]

Kevs have been seen operating a Solo , YJ62FYZ in and around Worcester so you may have seen that one , although I have seen a "non-Solo" , "non-Primo" vehicle on a couple of 147 workings this week.  8)

I rode on the 147 today with Mercedes WX07 ZRG, decidedly non DDA!

Looks a nice enough bus to me 😂

Good journey?? @Other Walsall Tony

Pretty good loading on the 15:34 from Halesowen- nearly full bus- don't know whether the 202 had turned up or not though

Apparently it's registered as a coach so that does not apply

Not from Halesowen town centre, no. Worcestershire's Connecta tickets are strictly within county boundary only. There was a precise list of boundary stops somewhere on the county council website originally but like a lot of its transport info it seems to have disappeared or not been updated for a very long time.

Although I have previously caught the 007 when Central Buses ran it and the driver sold me one at Halesowen, so you might just get lucky sometimes

I would have thought all Worcestershire County Council contracts stipulate that a DDA compliant vehicle is provided at all times however?
