Diamond Bus - Discussion

[4747]

Diamond blinds do have 'sorry not in service' programmed. When a bus returns to depot with a defect VOR is displayed so as the shunters/fuellers park the bus the correct place for the engineers to rectify the defect . VOR should only be displayed upon return to the depot and sorry not in service beforehand or so I have been told

That's quite a clever idea, one NX could adopt. As I expect it's a long process to go out and find the individual buses via the VCR's, where they're all over the bus parks.

Yeah thought they would have or often they have Rotala or diamond buses displayed or sometimes Surf before you ride-diamondbuses.com but seen a lot of buses recently with it displayed so just interested and thanks for the info.

seen KU52 YJZ working the 54 I think in WB looks a right tatty mess  ::), is there a reason its still in the 'Central Connect' livery although It looked like it had 'Wessex' on the side before it came off  :)

It has come up from Wessex, just has not been repainted in Diamond Livery yet, even though it has been here over 6 months

in them 6months it looks like it been knocked about a bit  ;D, if it was repainted would it be in the Blue livery or the black ? only reason I ask is because at Tividale you've got some black diamond buses with DIAMOND and some blue with DIAMOND on them too

If it was repainted when it first arrived, it may have been black (Don't know when repaints were switched from black to blue), as it is at Tividale, and their recent repaints back in February were into Black Diamond livery. Now it will go into blue, if it will be treated to a repaint

Do you know if the other Central Connect livered bus is still out and about, havent seen that for a while they both used to do the 56 peaks alot ?

20606 - KV51 KZH

I have no idea as I have not been looking for it, but I would think it would be around somewhere on a Tividale route. If it was repainted and I saw it, I would have noticed it was a recent repaint. I last got a picture of it in April on the 401E

Got a picture of it in Merry Hill I think on one Sunday when I ended up there. Most likely out on a route I hardly see.

4 in total (20807, 20808, 20812 and 20846), 3 are withdrawn and one is in service at Long Acre, that is 20812 (BX56 BPY). Can't say I've seen it out for a long time

Nor have I, hence the fact I thought they'd all gone, as it registered with long acre and not withdrawn would it be out on a route or parked in the garage

Simon Dunn confirmed in his thread that the other Primos in reserve would be returned to service soon
