Apparently Igo have gained the 192 and 7...

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.

It is just NX Coach diagrams. Nothing else is going to NXWM.

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

We'll that has surprised me!

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!

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

The 580 is not a Staffordshire tender. Will be a Worcestershire one.
