I heard a rumour about their NX work this morning, only for it to actually be said by the drivers too

Whose taking it on?

I heard the same thing apparently everything has been transferred over to NXWM's Walsall garage and it is operating and being based from there


When you  say everything  has been transferred  will  do you jus mean  the NX work on it's own ?  or with coaching side as well ? or even the bus siae as well , and  with where you say it is  has NX WESTMIDS taken it over

do not  mind me asking   where did   you  hear /see this  .   could  not really see them getting  the 7 as it is a local that goes in the countryside, the 192 maybe

It's what I've heard from a couple of Frankley depot drivers plus a couple of other people.

Whittle Bus Routes/Services To Date Not Including School Services.

2A/2C: Withdrawn as of the 15/12/2014 partly replaced by the 15
7: WMSNT/igo
15: Worcestershire CC Fleet Services
101: Arriva
125: ? (Kidderminster - Bridgnorth) Section
125: Central Buses (Kidderminster - Stourbridge) Section
192: WMSNT/igo
580: ? (Kidderminster - Kinver)

Not 100% about 7 and 192 going to WMSNT/igo at the moment.
Hope this list helps make service changes at Whittle a bit more clear. :)

The 2a/2C have also been partly  placed  in  another part of the route by the 2  and  the 15 WCC on (oridgreanly shown as going 16)  between bewdley and stourport is   another 15 not the whittles one
the 7 not heard anything about that
the 15  Kidderminster stourport stourport Tesco still whittles
the 101  arriva
the  125  the two sections as  you  say the Kidderminster bridgnorth is a Shropshire tender
the 192 not heard anything about that
the 580   is more than likely a Staffordshire tender and think it may not be replaced  with hason doing a service from Stourbridge which runs more often  there  are only two runs each way on the 580  and the last on to Kidderminster is around 13.25 . i

I'd have expected Diamond to pick up the both the 125 & 192 to enable KR services to be linked in to the WM operation, but yet we potentially see two new entrants in to KR in the shape of Central Buses & Igo.

Winston,

To be honest Diamond probably aren't interested in the 192 because I've been told by a driver friend of mine that Centro told Whittle that they were "barred" from running it to Birmingham so this is why it now only runs to Halesowen so it stands to reason that if they told Whittle that they would say the same to Diamond or infact any operator who decided to take it on and as for the 125 Simon would no doubt say it wouldn't be commercially viable for Diamond to operate bizzare as that sounds.

The traffic commissioner dictates where an operator serves, no one else. Sounds to me more like 'dithering Diamond' & someone else has moved in first!

who is still at whittles has heard about the 125. but as far as the 192/7  but not heard anything about them,  and my other friend who worked at whittles is now working at igo he has heard nothing  about the 192/7 either

Ced,

Worcestershire tendered a number of services last week.  Including the 15, 192 and the 7.

I am sure results will be made formal shortly
