They're allocated to any full size Single Deck routes, 4/H, 40, 42/43 etc. 30215 is often on the 40/42/43 @Trident 4194

I pictured X781 NWX on the 002 in Halesowen on 23rd August 2017. So it seems it does go everywhere. https://flic.kr/p/YQyiVR

It is on the 40, just leaving Paul Street in Wednesbury for West Brom.
Shame Diamond only had one Ex Arriva Cadet, they are way better than Diamonds original examples!

Diamonds finest cadet in my opinion was 30218- such a lovely bus

I never rode that one, but I often saw it dumped in Walsall Bus Station several years ago. 30201 and 30215 are the better ones.

It was ex Ludlow so always going to be my favourite along with the greatest seat moquette ever invented

Looks as though Tividale may be losing one or more Volvo/Wright to Atherton (30862):

Transferred on Wednesday

Is it a one off? Or are more meant to be moving?

I'd have thought that lone MAN/Meridian (30534) at KR might have been a better option to transfer I.e. remove a type at KR & re-unite with 3 x identical sister vehicles already at Atherton.

I also understand that there are more ex Wessex Centro's parked over in John St

The plaxton bodied centros(30807-30811/30816) need some serious mechanical attention. Every time I go one and it's a different one everytime the driver has to turn the engine off and then turn it back on. Their power seems minimal.

Do you know what caused them to go into limp mode?

In a nutshell, poor maintenance
