Whittles

[StourportSam]

Had a ride on YX57 BXB today. Nice bus, pretty much the same as the e200s with Whittle already.

EYMS website now confirms that YX57 BXC has been transferred down here.
Hopefully these two additions will help alleviate the problems experienced recently by Whittle.

It looks as though they are due another transfer, this time an ex Finglands coach 379 FC07MCF Volvo 9700

Yes I noticed that too, strange as I thought the Finland's coach business had been sold.
Perhaps that too did not include the vehicles, or at least all of them.

It has to Bullock's, but not all vehicles were involved

Very interesting that routes are being amended as well-wonder if diamond have similar route changes planned...

Don't see how Diamond can do if they're only sitting down today to discuss the results of the network review

theres only the 2a/2c/3 that they both run on

It could be argued that they also run along part of the 15 route with the 295.

Does anyone know if the new timetables for the Whittle services that are changing in less than a month are available anywhere yet?
No sign on their website or the WCC one.

Sam just look quick  one thing I did spot  is the 1 is no longer serving stourport  road on the inward journey  it is going back to run via swan centre  as on the outward  journey,  which means  it is
going back to how it was before the last change

It wasn't me that asked that Bewminster, it was Diamond Dart.

As far as I can see there are no major changes, apart from withdrawal of the early 7am service on the 3.
Most of it seems to address long standing timing issues. Fair play to Whittle for improving these.

YX57 BXC on the 192 yesterday.

What with two new (to Whittle) buses, new ticket machines, planned improvemnets from 06/01/14 and new signage on board buses all appearing in the last few weeks, things are looking up!

161 R409 FFC has been transferred up to EYMS.

Surprised EYMS are taking on such an old Dart SLF
