Whittles

[iamwilljh92]

So come on ced what you heard about whittles. You can't leave us all hanging like this.

I afraid I can not say  anything because I was told not to disclose  anything, but I will say  this bit  as it is not realey saying it much but I will just say this one thing  if it is 100% right .buses will not be  caught up in traffic jams on the road back  to the depot after at night or after there duties are finished the will be parking up near b&q   that's all I can realey say . and please no one else ask

Not too far from Island Drive then :P

no  to far

As of early Jan there will be no Whittle's buses.

No because they will all be "Diamond" [cough cough]....

[Cedric]

Highly unlikely Diamond KR will end up with any of the Whittle's fleet, the E200's especially are too new & will no doubt return to EYMS.

Diamond could always looks to acquire Whittle's 03 & 04 plate full size Darts to boost numbers though

No and tbh I hope they don't either because Simon Dunn would no doubt probably transfer the Enviros to Redditch and then give the preposterous claim that "they're to good to be used in Kidderminster" like he has said many times in relation to Centros & Volvo's coming here

It's not that they are too good for KR, it is that the revenue/profit generated from KR routes can't support the vehicles such as those. This is why old Darts are the mainstay of the KR fleet.

But as you've always said Simon you and your team review everything at all times. So if things pick up at Kidderminster in the future I am sure Diamond will change Vechicals according to profits and revenue going up.

already done that will  the to eyms enthusiast's  site  which has helped before with a query  it is maintained by some one from eyms

just seen  2 pictures on a face book page 
2 EYMS open toppers in whittles yard
tonight

found out why the are down here  , it is to do with the stourport 3 kings parade  which is part of the Christmas lights switch on , one is due to take part in the  parade , and there are open top bus rides around the town  ,do not know the  second one is doing that. or its come down as a spare,  wonder if they have come down with two drivers to take  two  buses  back, they will need someone on the upper deck to supervise  as the roads in some parts are narrow

[Ex BC driver]

I believe the 409 to London had to terminate at Birmingham coach station today as there was no driver to take it to London

If it's  right will they have to pay a penalty
409 is that's  the whittles  route  to London from aberwristwith (think I got the spelling wrong)
