I can confirm 163 (Y214 HWJ) is still in Kiddy (as I suspected) just seen it go past my house on Offmore, Kidderminster operating the 833 (Wolverley High School - Chaddesley Corbett) school contract.

saw it to will and saw it on the 2c this morning . it is still listed on the EYMS site as been transfered from whittle in april,  but on loan  to whittle  now . even thought it is classed as such we know it never left here or if it did just for a very short time before it came back

I've just read that myself how strange! It's taken them until now (December 2014) to decide to re-paint it and re-instate it back in service after it left Kidderminster earlier this year how bizzare

 Will I  wonder if the  former 161 that went up there will get the same treatment, it did get the front end painted in the  EYMS colours if I remember right , ?

I have been told by a friend of mine that Bennetts Coaches of Gloucester might be taking on one of Whittles NX routes. :)

if Bennettts  do take one of the NX routes  think it would more than likely be  this one  444 Worcester-London  as not to far away  the other routes  are
ones the go into north wales
