Sam, Will  I have posted message in rotala board about  closure of  the birmingham road

Causing an issue with the 125.

I was on the 1015 from Stourbridge, which was about 10 minutes late.

Should have got to Bewdley by 1100am,  but still on the bus outside Kidderminster by then.

Had to change bus at Kidderminster.

Should have waited for the next 125 to turn up but a friendly 2a driver let me on his bus so eventually got there about 12.

Wonder if they'll manage some through 125s soon back to civilisation?

I these photos on 16/07/14 I was surprised to see Caetano Levante Whittle livery ex National Express no. 83 YX07HJF on a school trip. Is seen in Kidderminster after being one of 3 Whittle Coaches that went on a School trip to Telford for the day. There is also a photo of the leather interior after I asked the kind driver to get a photo it. :)

Saw a Whittles Levante going through Heath Town on Saturday heading down Wednesfield Rd going into Wolverhampton City Centre. Any ideas where it was coming from/where it was heading?

Any idea why Wolverhampton Bus Station have the Whittle's timetable book?

Saw a few in the Travel Shop.

Are you thinking of the ALX 300s? Think the last one was W417 JAT, this 318 at least is an S reg Dennis Dart with Caetano Compass body. Apparently it was loaned to Whittle for a month in 2009.
