20573 was on the 226 today

It's still showing as allocated to RH, but it's been a good few weeks since first saw it repainted on the 226.

Maybe it might give it more layover time, to stay on time

The b7s have a delay when they open door to the stopping sign going off, if there is only one person getting off it doesn't have time to flash back off and stays on, then the driver thinks it's a prank, so when I pressed the bell, which was already on, he went straight past the stop. How come this happens?

Does anybody know where 30826 and 30831 are today?

30834 has gained advertisement for 301 on 4H today though

4747

30832/30833 and 30855 should have as well

So if they're all going to be 301 branded & the value branded B7RLE 's could possibly move on to the 302?

If that's the case,  which route will lose its B7RLE allocation as a result of the 302 starting?

832 hadn't got it the other day, and now the 4H will loose another 3 buses I expec. What's the pvr for the 4?

It's looking that way, I can't see the 302 being launched with MPD's or Darts.

I think they 4's might be around 12-14ish pvr

Let's look forward to darts on 4 again, 4 new b7rles and 808,811 and 816 and 30002 and a dart would be nice. The 002 tends to share these buses though.

I wouldn't look forward to that prospect, the larger Darts will be old and any newer Darts will be MPD's. Diamond haven't even got so many 39 seat Cadets to fall back on these days, as they've sold 6 during Sept and only 2 x B7RLE's 30002 & 30855 were moved in to Tividale as replacements, Tividale are therefore still -4 higher capacity buses down. There's a 57 plate ex Wessex B7RLE/Wright (30813) that has been parked up at Long Acre untouched for a number of months, that could have bolstered numbers at Tividale.
