Should remain as Solo SRs and Versas for them - the S2/3/4 have all been moved to Redditch as well. Streetlites clearly going to be the backup buses for them.

Sam  it was  parked  up against the side wall of the depot  and  I was being driven past in a taxi  it caught my  eye , the colour was all I could really see an the shape of the top of the roof . I was coming towards the depot from the stourport way .  so you may see it if you are on a bus coming that way

I'm surprised that Diamond appear to be chucking in the towel with their 56 (unless there's a new registration still to come?), it's a well established route & I always thought it was well used.

I can't see it going either. It carries very good loads in the peak times, and steady during the day

I did wonder if the recent introduction of NXWM's Platinum 936 may have caused a drop in passenger numbers, but it seems a little premature to give in for such an established Diamond service

I agree the 56 is not a bad route,but given the 936 going Platinum would you run such a route from Tividale unless it was exceptional.
Wouldn't surprise me if the 16 wasn't next and even the 50 cannot be sacrosanct,though at least it is accessible from Redditch.
