Do Whittles have any diagrams involving Gatwick?

Not  as far as I know  I don't think  they have any to Heathrow either

Do Whittles have any diagrams involving Gatwick?

Cedric,

All the buses will be going back apart from I assume (167/168/169) which no doubt Coniston will purchase

No Coniston won't purchase any.

Sorry, but yes I do.

they will need to get(have got) some buses from some where  as the coaches are unsuitable for bus work ,

MPD 169 is on the 125 - too small for this route!

not seen it for a while
the volos  and the 37/38 seater darts where usually used  but  not seen volos for just over a week  and the 56/57 regs have been rare this week mainly  the older vehicles on the road  that might be why  plus  being the last day some  vehicles may being prepared for the journey north or even gone north

RIP Whittles  :(, although to be honest, 85 years of running is nothing short of impressive.

Got in on the 1210 192 from Halesowen, went out on the 125 that came in, got back in on the same 125 from Stourbridge (bus was 169), waited for a bit, got 171 on the next 125 to Stourbridge

When were you around? I don't think I saw any other enthusiasts in Kidder.

matt  more enthusiasts   go around different parts of the town  , like the town hall, and swan centre  as you see more buses , as shall we say the bus station is just used by tendered services, like from Monday you will see a few more diamond vehicles departing from there and central  buses  and Coniston coaches vehicles

There were a couple of photographers when we were there. Was looking out if we could see you. Any idea who the man with the long hair on the 125 back to Stourbridge shortly before 3pm filming was?

the end of the whittles bus side  is all most here
the last
580 arrived back in Kidderminster  at 13.55
15   arrived back in Kidderminster   at  18.36
7  arrived   back in Kidderminster  at 18.42
192 arrived back in Kidderminster at  18.50
and the  very last whittles bus to arrive back in Kidderminster  is the 18.50  125   has just left bridgnorth and arrives back in Kidderminster at 19.53. which terminates at the swan centre not the bus station
