Whittles

[Cedric]

On n&p Whittle has put in a application for 13 vehicles at their
old base

very interesting there base is still in the same place in Kidderminster,   in there latest holiday tours book  there are  some johnsons tours in as well so maybe that is the reason for  the application ,

[Cedric]

13 vehicles is that buses or coaches as if it's buses then maybe they will be starting running against Diamond....

Will think it is for coaches rather than buses

The directors of this company
WHITTLE COACH & BUS LIMITED, ie.
PETER JOHNSON, JONATHON JOHNSON
are also directors of JOHNSONS (HENLEY) LIMITED (who I believe took the coach / holidays side of the business over).
So looks like Johnsons setting up a separate entity (rather than old owners starting up again).

this  is how it has been since Johnson took over   it just a case of  have more vehicles need in Kidderminster  I thinks as since they took over things are going well

Was just woundering does anyone know what happened to Mercedes O405N's V428DNB & V429DNB ?

[Cedric]

one got destroyed by fire a long time before the changes at whittles and I think  the other one had been withdrawn  for some time

I was told the one that did not catch fire had been purchased for preservation but have heard nothing since then. Not sure what happen to it to be honest.
