Matt I caught the 0912 192 from Stourport this morning, was it you that got off?

Indeed it was

I thought you looked like an enthusiast!

Did you sit roughly above the driver-side rear wheel arch? I thought it might be you too, as you looked back at me a few times 8)

Yes that's right. I was actually on my way to work but missed the 0822 and then the 0835 service 3 from Areley Kings decided not to turn up and I had to catch the X3 at 0900, so decided to get off and catch the 192 from Stourport High St. It was a bit quicker at getting to Kidderminster than the X3.

Yes, for some reason you looked familiar, even though I've never met you before, must be your avatar I suppose.

Oops....were you late for work?

I'm surprised you can make anything out of that avatar, might take a new one soon 8)

Yes I was late - got there 0930 should have been 0855 to open a shop. Oh well I'm not usually late and I wonder if there were actually any customers during that time. I must catch the 0822 as usual next time, could be something to do with not getting home until 0130 am last night from my other work...

I believe a few people were wondering if the B10BLEs had returned to EYMS, well they have not, they are still at Whittle's depot (as of Friday).
noticed this morning at sometime the fleet information has been taken off the whittles site

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

There used to be a large woman on the 246 years ago who was always after men, she used to sell the Express & Star out of a hut in Stourbridge. One day the local yobs got hold of the hut with her in it and turned it on it's side.

All the Whittle buses have today made they're journey back to Hull so I've been told by a mate of mine who saw them apparently he said they were all in a convoy (one behind the other) going along Stourport Road so that's it officially the end of an era

Goodbye Whittle's  :'(

At least 2 of the 6 NX coaches were still at the Whittle depot on Friday 2 January. Only 1 of the 2 ex NX coaches was there on Friday.
