A post on the WestMidsBus forum suggests that the 20 could be operated by double deckers . Look out for the tree lopper ! 8-)

I saw from a distance around 1pm today , a N.E., double decker exit Bromsgrove bus station. Rather surprisingly , it turned right and headed towards the Stourbridge Road.

The 20 in its current form (QE - Cofton Hackett) is interworked with NXWM service 48, West Bromwich - QE, which is normally double deck. It seems that this interworking will continue when the 20 is rejigged. Look out for Volvo B7/Wright Geminis in Bromsgrove if so!

I've seen both single and double deckers on the three working's that I have seen today. Passenger numbers looked encouraging and a number of people were genuinely surprised when they realised that you could catch a bus from Bromsgrove to the "QE". We very rarely get a 'free weekly paper' delivered so I do not know what if any publicity has been given out about the new route . . . . . ;) ;)
