Are there normally problems with Whittle's National Express services?

Any sightings of W409 JAT lately? Has it gone to be painted into Whittles livery?

Ohh, which service was it on? I haven't seen it on the 192 in ages - it seems to spend spells of time on particular routes, rather than hopping between them each day.

Would Whittle accept nBus on the 192 between Halesowen and Hayley Green?

Yes they do inside the NWM area as I use their 125 occasionally if the 276 isn't due from work or to work...

I saw YX04 JVW today in Kidderminster but I noticed something peculiar about it that is the green grill panel on the front was just green it hasn't even got the "Whittles" sticker on it I know it might sound odd but maybe it's in the process of being completely de-stickered to be withdrawn maybe I don't know  does anybody know anything or the reasons?

Its been like this for a bit now. This is usually just when a new body part has been used and has not had the vinyl applied. This is quite common and might not mean anything.

They should accept it up to the boundary as there buses do displays then sticker in the window, but on more than one occasion I have been refused travel to Hayley Green and have had to wait for the Diamond Bus to come.

Perhaps they'd accept if one boarded in Hayley Green to go into Halesowen

309 / W409 JAT at home on the 192 yesterday.

Rather frustratingly, the Whittle website has not been updated with the service changes in force from today.
they have finally put new time tables on website
