2 whittles buses  where at Tesco  filling station today   getting  diesel which seam strange .

My god! That is perculiar I didn't know they could do that

Of course you can as long as the forecourt is big enough, no different to filling up a HGV & in the case of the double deckers that the canopy is high enough
Will  one was  168 and the other was a 03 reg one . there seamed to be a few people in hi viz  vest on  around one had eyms logo on do you get free express and star today  there is  a short statement  from david shipp on front page . see what you think of it

Yeah I read it - do you think those buses might be going/have gone back to East Yorkshire perhaps??

would not like to say realey  . but the 101 has finished and the 2a/2c are finishing  very soon so less routes run less buses needed, they maybe going north
but if they are included in any sale they maybe staying

Well obviously the fueller at Whittle obviously didn't put enough fuel in them both last night makes you wonder how many others he hasn't put enough in

I very much doubt that is the problem

If more than one bus is filling up at a fuel station part way through the day I would strongly suspect that there has been a supply problem and the depot has no fuel. I am not going to speculate on a reason for that, it could be many, but is far more likely than someone not, filling the buses properly. If that was the case a company would normally swap buses with another from the depot, or send tham back to the depot to be filled

163 and 169 both still in use yesterday.
I have not seen any ALX 300s in use for a week or two, just Darts and Enviro 200s. Has anyone seen 173-176 in use recently?

Yes, I saw a Volvo (don't ask which one) on Friday night coming along Chester Road North displaying "192 Stourport, via Kidderminster" so they are being used
