Whittles

What exactly happened to 152? I know you said it was fire damaged but what exactly happened to it and where? And I also have an update on 418 today (17/08/13) I noticed that all East Yorkshire lettering (except the number) has been removed from it which leads me to believe that Whittle's now officially own it and will in due course spray it in their colours and number it in their fleet as "418" whether this is will happen remains to be seen...

they may be just getting it ready for the none psv work it came down for oridgeanlly  will not say what in case I am wrong.

I do know what it oridgeanlly came to be used. which was drivers rest room in Kidderminster bus station  instead of using a coach .but never used for that they are using a transit  van  for that at this time,   but with there being a diversion  on the 2a  on the Queensway  bewdley  which is only just about big enough for 418   you could  more than  likey right  as the diversion  is on  for 6 months  and   maybe another mini joining it . I know no more than you.  the spell check will not work on my pc

Is 153 (V429 DNB) still with Whittles?

I haven't seen it on the 192 in ages.

I think it has been mentioned a while back it was withdrawn. I think both of the O405Ns are withdrawn, but don't take my work for it  :)

It is definitely not in service and hasn't been for any of 2013. I'm quite sure it was removed from service back in late 2011/early 2012. 152 and 153 are certainly not operating any more :(

Coach RCE 510 on the 3 today. Driver said it was because three buses were in for MOT and others are in for service meaning no buses available!

What's the crack with the EYMS buses (namely YX51 MUO and W409 JAT respectively) are they staying or are they going back up to Yorkshire? They're obviously both still here (with W409 JAT doing the 125 run to Bridgnorth the other day I saw it) seems to me that they're going nowhere but I'm not entirely 100% sure what do we think here to stay or departing?

'W409 JAT' was on the 192 yesterday, strange sight in Halesowen!
