Whittles livery the Green looks
a shade ligter

Not lighter, just fresh and clean!

I too have seen W414 JAT and W415 JAT.

I have seen photos of completed W417 JAT in Hull so that could be here Monday, possibly along with W416 JAT.

But no sign of W409 JAT Sam?

I have not seen it, although that doesn't mean it isn't here.
There is a photo of it on Flickr in service on the 125 on 1st April.

Personally I think it will return to EYMS when its other two siblings arrive in Kidderminster.

309 W409 JAT is still here, just passed it on Stourport Road not in service with one fitter driving and two more on board.

W415 JAT is on the 3
W414 JAT is spare K

interesting  I wonder could it be on its way to EYMS and  the  others expected coming down with maybe 1 more . but  is more than likely that the fitter was ferrying  drivers to Kidderminster for a change over
part of a tweet I reccived from eyms twitter  page 
I think they are all down there now. 162 & 163 are on the pits here, 165 and 166 are parked on our rear car park.

Your assumptions could be correct, had it not been travelling in the direction of the Whittle garage away from town...

I've had it comfirmed by EYMS via Facebook that 309 is defintely going back:

"..Hi Will.  As far as we know, 309 is still on loan, so will return here at some stage.  If you're on Twitter, you may find it useful to follow @EYMSEnthusiasts, who tweet information such as this.."

So thats it unfortuneatly..

It's already been on loan a long, long time and with others of the same type now arriving at Whittle's I reckon it will end up staying. Can't see EYMS needing it with all the other ex Finglands & new buses due to arrive

Winston I used  twitter to find about about the recent transfer to and from whittles .   and I to think some more vehicles of the WJAT batch may well com down as as well as the new bus due to arrive soon and the ex Finglands ones EYMS   are closing there dirifield depot down   and there are only a fe  WJat buses which are none standard to rest of the fleet

Problem with Twitter & Facebook you don't know who is managing the EYMS account. It could be internal or an external third party, both of which could just be answering questions off the companies data base. Which obviously would still show it on loan.

Winston, I have always got the impression the EYMS enthusiasts updates are either done by an external party or someone with little inside knowledge just using the fleetlist database.

I hope it's on the 192 on Friday, specifically the 07:40 ex Halesowen as I have to catch the 192 to school due to the HC services not running!
