EYMS fleet news for September 2014

309 W409 JAT has returned to Hull from loan.

169 W694 EOP has been listed as delicensed (although I saw it today or yesterday in Kidderminster).

This would be the result of Whittle PVR reducing by 2 buses after the September changes.


Interestingly it now looks as though 163 Y214 HWJ is staying (was in service today), although 162 Y213 HWJ never came back.

Has anyone seen 164 GK03 NFT recently? It doesn't seem to see much use.

sam   169 is still here today

I'm back!!!...

Yes 169 still in use I was on it last Tuesday and Sam! I completely agree with what you said "where has 164 gone" I haven't seen it for months myself so perhaps it's "ill" who knows as for 163 however it's looks as if it's as you say it's staying here with Whittle

Just read about 161 up for sale I see! Clearly Whittle aren't having it back then!  Nothing on the EYMS website about 169 can't understand why they are getting rid of that as theres nothing at all wrong with it  but if they say it's going then it will

Anyone seen how the new 2A/C is doing? Are any vehicles in particular being put on it ie darts/MPDs/volvo's/e200's? Thanks :)

First few days seemed virtually empty. Now I have seen very healthy loads and even a few full buses! Mainly ALX 300s with the YX03 darts and e200s also making appearances. A few MPDs have made their way on too. Have yet to travel on it myself however.

Thanks for the info! Does it seem fairly busy between Bewdley and Stourport or just on the bits that correspond to the old 2A/C/3 corridors?

Yes most of the time as the 2C for example goes via The Coppice so it is handy for Coppice residents etc

the one time I used it from Kidderminster to birchen coppice there where 4 people on (including me) 3 got of there and 2 got on so there where 3 of use between there and stourport  2 got of in stourport  leaving just me  to bewdley load street where I got of think a couple got on there to bark hill. friends I have in bewdley do not like the service has in is not very clear which way the bus is going as it displays Kidderminster both ways and the via points are to small and fast scrolling through . and even worse when in is a bus with roller blind it just shows Kidderminster a card in the windscreen  whould help .and service not very reliable for timekeeping
