That looks nice, on a par with the Nx crimson.

By the way, have all 'Black Diamond' & 'Red Diamond' vehicles disappeared now?

With them being MK3 examples, I was expecting them to have the odd shaped nearside grille in the front bumper as First Group examples

Red Diamond yes, Black Diamond no, 20522 at Redditch is still in Black Diamond livery.

Yeah I was expecting that, think it may be just the Micro Hybrids that have it seeing as the Arriva Derby ones don't either ?

Diamond's 17 x Streetlites will also be Micro Hybrids. I noticed the Arriva one didn't either. Tbf the grille looked a bit odd anyway.

The tracker isn't 100% accurate, hence why we said for members not to post tracker sightings.

I love Walsall buses

The cancellations for all Solihull s1, s2, S3, S11, S15, 82 and 88 are now on VOSA.
Looking at VOSA, it seems there will be a new 11 and 12 service starting from the next day - 24th Feb - though the page doesn't contain any details on the route of these services, I assume they will be partial replacements for these services?

In addition to this, it appears Diamond have won the 42 service in Coventry from Johnsons.

After seeing a photo on Flickr: 20524 (YX09 HZB) is at Kidderminster depot repainted into the new two-tone livery. It moved over on the 20th December, the photographer took the photo on Boxing Day.

Driver talk would suggest S2/S3 are gains for Silverline
