Quote from: hlliwmai on November 27, 2022, 07:42:25 PMJust coming through West Brom in the car and coming out the bus station was 32238 (SK17 HHL) and it has been debranded from 31/32 and is now totally plain like the Claribels VDL (32136) in the same livery
Presumbly for the same reason NX Walsall have debranded 3 of their 31/32 vehicles.

The joint frequency & pvr has been reduced on the 31, 32 & 40 from today by both operators

Diamond's Pvr on the 31/32 has only reduced by 1, same with the 40.

The 40 already only has 3 branded vehicles as 40 Branded 32307 & 32310 were repainted into Diamond fleet livery sometime ago back when Diamond were going to exit the West Midlands Bus partnership routes, therefore, there shouldn't be any need to de-brand anymore.

Where was this posted about the 4H withdrawals? I can't seem to find anything on Diamond site?

What genuinely? Oh wow although I'm not surprised I must admit I do agree with @Trident 4194 though the buses that Diamond use on the 4H are at times diabolical & quite honestly crap! *some* are freezing cold (STILL!!) and slow up Coombes Road/Gorsty Hill or on the one occasion the bus that my partner was driving refused point blank to go up Gorsty Hill!! totally ridiculous it's no great loss in my opinion I'm sure the people of Hayley Green; Halesowen & Blackheath will breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Diamond won't be running the route as of January....

The people of Hayley green are awaiting to see if nxwm provide an enhanced frequency. I will miss diamond on there, however as I have said already the standard of service provided has drastically dropped

There was one of those "West Midlands Bus" wrapped vehicles on the 96 on Monday, when I went to the Fort. Can't remember which one it was.

Looks like 2 of the new streetlites  32256/9 are at Kidderminster are they a loan or have they moved there
