Whittles

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

Well if I'm correct in thinking Whittle's haven't got the National Express contracts or in fact the Caetano Levante Coaches anymore and haven't had so for well over 3 weeks or more so I'm not entirely sure who's operating the contracts or who indeed now has the vehicles @Tony can you shed some light?

did not think they had given them up just yet. A BIG IF the coach side  is sold would the new owner be able to take over  the running of these  service ?

For the past three weeks or so, the 410/545 diagram has been operated by Whittles but crewed by drivers from Llew Jones.

To be fair there isn't a lot involved in running the X-country services. The 409 and 545 lads live in Aber and Phwelli and both services driver change in Brum.
They are easy services to run.
