Has any Central vehicles been spotted with Diamond fleetname stickers yet?

Did a Central branded vehicle get on the Walsall 302 today?

Saw one as indicated on the Black Country New Road this morning.

Ex Central Buses 103 has seemingly been abandoned in Perry Barr tonight, still at the one stop bus station at 01:22
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Noticed on the fleetlist Versa 'YJ57 XVW' is listed as 30968, but saw it today in Sutton and it has the fleetnumber 30905 on the bus. Do we know which is right?

@John 30968 is the correct fleetnumber, 30905 was it's initial fleetnumber.

The bulk of the Central Buses fleet i.e. full length Darts / E200's / Versa's & Metrocity's were initially allocated 30896-30914 (see post #1501)

However, it was soon realised that 30910-12 were already allocated to Diamond Bus NW Scania/East Lancs Esteem's, hence the above batch of ex Central Buses being re-numbered to 30960-30977.

Thanks Winston. Makes sense. Is the 75 ran from Redditch or Tamworth? As I thought it was going to Tamworth but 30968 is at Redditch on the fleet list

Redditch.

Two running boards anyway. I think there's another running board ran from Tamworth.

@Matt.N0056 you'll have to confirm this

AS MW says, I believe the 75 is jointly oeprated by Tamworth & Redditch.

Thanks both 😁

As Tamworth runs 91  as a guess will run the peak working
on 75 then go on to 91 & back to 75
