Quote from: DMCL on September 20, 2023, 08:13:08 PMA similar question to the one from LiamsTransport1. Does anyone know if the two Tata Hispano Inteas PO12 EOK and PO62 HNH are still part of the fleet? I used to see them regularly on school runs in Redditch but haven't seen either of them this year.
Interestingly, Tata Hispano Intea PO62 HNH was operating school runs in Redditch this morning - good to see such a rare and unusual coach again.

Difficult to say which permanent routes yet as schools still undecided on routes, where are new kids and where kids left school. Should be all sorted soon

I have a swift pass, is it accepted on the 147 and 318?
Local routes are the PN 7, WN 8, 25 and 242 (mainly the 8)
Also regularly use the PN 2, PN 2A and WN 82
Local rail station is Stourbridge Town, 139s 😍

Depends on which Swift pass you have?
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

The 88 is the only time I've experienced Kevs (yet), and the drivers seemed very nice and always in a good mood when I got on. It's sad Diamond run the 88 now but I'll definitely go on more Kevs routes when I'm out, which routes would you recommend, is there any interesting ones?

I'd recommend the 318, as it has a good run through the countryside between Stourbridge and Bromsgrove, same with the 147.

They are good runs but please remember than nBus tickets are not valid on these routes beyond the West Midlands boundary.

The 355 is a very interesting and scenic route

Looks as though Kevs may be gaining some extra work / looking to expand, their licence authorisation has been increased by +9 to 34 vehicles.

Correction, should read plus 2 not 9 . We had 32 discs previously and now we have 34.

The driver told me I the first passenger on board the new bus on the 10 leaving Four Dwellings at 7.30 this morning.   :smiley:

I have to say they look very smart.

The 10 was very well used into the city centre this morning as well.

Well done Sonic, six more to come over the next week or so. Trying the first one on the 39 today

LiamsTransport1

Never actually been on a sprinter before so looking forward to trying these soon.
