What bus  was used on 147 today

[Trident 4194]

No Primos?

I saw the small solo SR make an appearance last week

Wrong. The loads on the 147 are not that good and I suspect never will be. No I am pleased to announce KEV'Sbus will be operating the 318 Stourbridge to Bromsgrove service commencing 2 September 2018 using fairly new Optare Solo 35 seats. This will fit in well with 147 both of which serve Catshill

I think the 147 will be tough to build up. Once WCC reduced the frequency and operated it to Catshill only (rather useless terminus) it must have forced people to making alternative arrangements.

Good luck with the 318!

The 62 plate Solo was working the 147 earlier this week but sorry I can not confirm whether it was Monday or Tuesday. ::)

Thanks sonic. 147 has started to pick up between Catshill and Bromsgrove Rail Station. Now Cross City out to Bromsgrove I think we can expect a few more

I thought  318 was one bus working unless the other is a spare

[fleetline6477]

If the timetable remains the same, second bus required for additional peak morning and evening journeys, hourly frequency in peaks and two hourly off peak

[igogeneral]

Correct Fleetline6477, we have other uses for the second bus as you would imagine. The present first departure from Stourbridge has been withdrawn by Worcester who now only require it to commence service from Belbroughton at 07.58 to Bromsgrove Bus station, not sure why but would imagine poor loadings from Stourbridge

I take it the other bus that's for 318 peaks will run 355 then the 318

Good luck trying to get all those kids on the 07:35 from Bromsgrove in school term time with a long Solo when I was route training on the 318 with Diamond that journey would have a long E200 and it was still full and standing after leaving Holy Cross and no I am not Exaggerating it would be full to capacity of the bus.
