that makes for interesting reading shame that they won't be any threat to Diamond

They'll be operating the newest buses in to KR

Tis a shame Diamond can't take a leaf out of there book

The next question now is who will take over the Kidderminster - Bridgnorth section of the 125?

Please be ARRIVA! :)

Reece  to me being a lot older  than  your self    the real Whittles ended in 2004
when Ronald  Whittle sold out  to East Yorkshire . you and Will  are probably to young to remember  when  they changed 99% of
the fleet every year.

Ced do you think Whittle Coach & Bus would still be going strong now if Ronald Whittle had not sold out to EYMS Group in 2004?

Reece with the current fincal situation of the country it is hard to  say but  I think  they may have been because  it was mainly coach holidays , day trips , private hire , on the bus side they only had the 125 bridgnorth to highley  daily service in Kidderminster there where quite a few market day and school services , they had some in bridgnorth  but not sure on exactly what  and in ludow as well . and a big contract with the MOD to  take work to the raf maintance site around  hartlbury area,

No information yet on the 192, or who will be the operator on the remainder of the routes
and also  nothing  on the Kidderminster  Bridgnorth  section  of the 125

winston

According to latest Bus & Coach buyer, all staff have been issued with redundancy notices with varying end dates.

It's looking as though the NX coach wok c/w coaches may move elsewhere

They are still in talks with two other interested parties regarding the coach side.
