Interesting that someone on Midland Red net has said he/she believes that Whittle have been sold to a firm in North Shropshire. Now after doing a Google search I find GHA Coaches and they have a chappy from Diamond who moved to Your Bus and is now at GHA. If it is GHA I think Whittle would do well and Diamond might have a wee problem.

But that is if it is true.

Has anyone else heard any more about this firm from North Shropshire who have apparently saved/brought Whittles at some point in last few weeks?  :)

I have it on good authority the 2A/C will finish on 17th November.  Diamond are altering a service slightly to cover part of it but wcc are not looking to tender it out. There is a bid for Whittles at the moment but the council are preparing for a worst case scenario.
that's the 15th of decmember  from what was on the vosa site the other day

Well there isn't going to be a lot left of them this time next week then  ::)

Hopefully operators will be allowed to continue/start these services under short notice so as passengers aren't left unable to travel.

think some one could be lined up for the 101. part of a answer to post of mine of whittle facebook  page
on the 15th Dec as indicated is that we will stop running the 2A/2C service. It is also likely that the 101 Bridgnorth town service will be run by a different operator from 17 Nov

WHITTLE HAS NOT BEEN SOLD

No, because if they had the news would have been released to the stock exchange, but that doesn't mean someone hasn't agreed to buy them on a set date subject to various financial checks, and that information needn't have been released to anyone.

At least one of the editors of one of the trade magazines believes a buyer is lined up and journalists normally have better information than people living in their own fantasy world (That does not refer to you, Will)
