Whittles

[Solo1]

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

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..

Diamond  Y211/2 WHJ  I think were at Redditch later branded for 226 service now de branded

do not know what made me forget the 2a/2c  as  I use those quite a bit

Sam,

Do you know whether Whittles route 1 is tendered or is it commercial?

As far as I am aware Winston it is fully commercial.

Oh right, I wrongly assumed it was tendered, therefore Diamond are launching a competing service from 2nd June on the 1 then.

Yes, up until 2011 First and Diamond competed on the 1, as they also did on the 10, 5 and 5A.

Thanks for that, I forgot that Diamond were previously competing in KR. Didn't that date back to Pete's Travel/People's Express days rather than Diamond Bus (Birmingham Coach Company)?

If it was 2011 it would have been Red Diamond as Red Diamond was branded in 2008 if my memory serves me rightly.

should read first & whittles completing with each other pete's travel BCC diamond did run on some tendred  route but first or whittles never ran on them at the same time. not got time  go in to detail now will do latter

I'm sorry, that typo came out of nowhere! It should of course read First and Whittle.

I've lost track of what's been withdrawn and what hasn't. Are 167, 168 and 169 still in service?

Yes. Have seen them all in service over the past two weeks, particularly 169 frequently.

[StourportSam]

I've lost track of what's been withdrawn and what hasn't. Are 167, 168 and 169 still in service?

Matt  167/68/69 are all still in service
the ones that have been replaced are 162/163/165/166, and  161  went a long time ago which is in service at EYMS as are 162/163   all at hull
165/166 are in a yard at the back of hull depot

162 (W462 UAG) and 166 (W466 UAG) are now "SORN Not Due". I did a DVLA enquiry last week

will  according  to whittles own fleet list and uk bus fleet list     The fleet number for W 462 UAG  is 165 not  162

Oh christ yh bloody Whittle fleet numbers confusing me

Will if the fleet numbers I put are confusing you  take a look at the whittles website and look at the fleet information section it is a bit out of date
here is the link will http://www.whittlecoach.co.uk/fleet.asp

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

Don't say things you can't be sure of Will. RCE 510 and others were used on the 3 route more than once last October, due to vehicle shortages.

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..

They were in fact registered to Bus Eirean in 1999 then registered in the UK 2001. They still are that old, just not in Worcestershire!
