Maybe whittles aren't the threat to diamond that some make out then...

Or it could just be that they've currently got a number of drivers off sick & no cover

think the road works on the Queensway in bewdley could be the problem , as I know through experncing a trip on the  2a
the buses are running real late and if drivers have to change to do a 3 they are too late to do it, they  did have standby drivers
and vehicles . in the bus station at on time to slot in but now,  they are short of both drivers and vehicles I think.

W409 JAT has been on the 16:10 from Halesowen today and yesterday

Spoke to a Whittle driver today.
It is not sickness, it is not the 2A.
The company are short of both buses and drivers, and when there are too few to run an entire service the 3 is taken off and just not run, as has been the case for most of this week.
Very poor if you ask me.

Apparently the management just don't care.

Unless they sell off the bus side to say NX, Arriva or Stagecoach and then run the coach side of Whittles as EYMS?

I don't think the bus operation is big enough for any of the big boys to be interested, unless any of them particularly wanted to complete against Rotala/Diamond

I don't think anything is happening in East Yorkshire, I suspect EYMS have just decided to pull out of Manchester as Finglands was loss making, First Group on paid £50k for the business (which obviously excluded vehicles etc)
