[Cedric]

If Y213 and 214 HWJ had still been with Whittle they both would of had they're 13th birthday today

Both registered: 19/04/2001

Shame they had to leave but I guess once the "JAT" buses came down from Yorkshire the HWJ  Darts were surpless to requirements

Matt - nope no coaches have been in use on any route for about 18 months or more sadly I love it when they use a coach on the 125 route but as I say it hasn't been for a good while

I used to see them quite a bit on the 192 in Halesowen. I must admit they suit the 192 with the fast running along the A456 between Hayley Green and Kiddy but it does strike me that prospective passengers at bus stops along the route might not realise that the coach was the 192 until the last second, hopefully the driver would stop at any bus stop with people waiting to check whether they wanted the 192.

whats the price of a day return on 125 or 192 planning to down soon thanks

will diamond have Y 211 HWJ and Y 212 HWJ  do not know if the are still in service

Yes I believe they are and both vehicles are based in Tividale or LAC I think wouldn't it be "deja-vu" if they were ever transferred to Kidderminster..

A Whittle day ticket is £6.20 I think mate and you can use it all day on ANY service

It depends on where to and from, and of course your age. Bear in mind that there has also been a considerable fare increase this year. I know that a 16-19 Wyre Forest + 192 day ticket is £3.70 and it's a little over £5 adult I think. Whittle's single/return fares are so expensive it's usually better to buy a day ticket. For example, the 16-19 Halesowen - Hagley return is £3.80 (only 14 mins each way) but the entire Wyre Forest + 192 day ticket is £3.70.
