2 double deckers for the 94 would give tividale a micro fleet of streetdecks, surely if the 94 was to be DD then more would be sent. Doubt it will happen, the diamonds 16s and 50s do ok with singles so the 94 will be fine with them also.

94 could be 2 double decks and 3 singles perhaps then?
Will be nice to have the new double decks in Ward End to.
Redditch have a double decker to so not unheard of. 

If 2 mellors did go up I imagine they would be for some quieter/tendered services somewhere and are being swapped back for these more suitable vehicles for 94.

Would be very interesting to see what turns up from Bolton then......
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

The 94 has seen a very wide and varied fleet over its almost 50 year life. From Sherpas to Routemasters and all inbetween. I wouldn't mind a Streetdeck added to that list.

Quote from: hlliwmai on April 20, 2022, 05:23:30 PMWas talking to a driver yesterday and was told by them that apparently Tividale are getting 2 Streetdecks (not known which ones) from Manchester for the 94 and 2 Mellors from Tividale (don't know which ones) are going to Manchester in there place how true that is I don't know however if it is would be strange seeing Diamond double deckers in Birmingham!
Will, the swap is taking place after 24th April TfWM tender changes. The 2 x Streetdecks aren't for the 94, they'll be need for them in May.

What are they for then if not the 94?

Could go to redditch to replace the 2 Geminis there

Out of curiosity, now the Claribels vehicles are part of the Diamond fleet, does anyone know what fleet numbers they will carry?

I saw a blue streetlite at Fox & Goose at 8 it said Diamond Bus Midlands on the front. Heading East.
The streetlites have new destination display blinds as well like NX I think. More via points etc, than when it was claribels ran.

Just been looking on the tracker and it appears that the 68A/C is still operating despite the fact  it's says it's been cancelled on the "Find registered local bus services" website I'm slightly confused as to whether it has been

94 has a Solo on there now. Comes of the AM X16/AM 16S/25 I think.
Saw it going the other way while I was on 6854.

Presumably ran from Tamworth.
