Interesting they are withdrawing from the 3 EDIT: and the 1 (Thanks Winston for the info). Not the first time is it either, seeing as the 3 was reintroduced from October 2012 ish if I'm right? Clearly Diamond's increased frequency has had an impact, as has their starting the 1 service.

Oh my good god! They have given up the fight with the 3 and the 1 :O I never saw that happening mindshew I guess they can't compete with Diamond  now they have upped they're frequency oh well fair play to Diamond thats all I can say they fought and they've won, Go Diamond!

PM

I reckon this is the tipping point in Kidderminster from over the last few years Whittle being more successful against First and then Diamond to Diamond pretty much taking over there...

My money is now on the 2 getting competitive between the two operators.

This frees up/means Whittles are losing 4 vehicles' worth of work...

It also leaves the bus station even more empty if their 3 is no longer serving there...

I reckon by end of August early September they will be up for sale don't think EYMS will continue bothering with them now harsh as it sounds

I still think Whittle's tickets in the Wyre Forest are too cheap. If their fares had been a bit higher for a considerable length of time they may have brought in enough revenue to keep the operation of the now withdrawn services sustainable, especially as the quality of their vehicles is far superior to that of the other main operator in the area.

So what will be done with the vehicles freed from the 1 & 3? Increased frequency on the 2A/2C?
