I went around long acre garage today with blue diamond fleet and spotted 30130 at the back was some withdrawn fleet pictures on my flickr

Some interesting photo's of Long Acre James, I don't suppose you happened to log the contents of LA?

Thrres a wessex centro on the edges of one of your photos- any idea which it is?

There were 3 of them when I went past on the train in the morning

Thanks for that update Tony. Did they look more like sb120s or b7rle's or was it hard to tell or a mixture of both types? I'm thinking they could be the sb120s being prepped for Diamond.

They were YJ07 registrations so VDL SB120s

No, the 5 x VDL's transferring up were new for the 902 Portway Park & Ride contract originally

That's interesting Nathan thanks for posting. Have you seen if it is one particular driver or all of them or is it a case of certain passengers saying they need to get off there?

Thanks

I noticed 30162 on the 3 in Kiddy yesterday. Are lampposts the normal Sunday allocation then?

Think RH are known to put pretty much anything on there on a Sunday. I'm sure MAN centros, e300s, b7rles, darts and streetlites have all appeared on there.

Yes that's true because a few weeks back I was down the town on a Sunday I noticed it was VX54 MTE was operating on the X3 a bus I would like to add was Kidderminster's before the takeover...

VX54MTE was never a Kidderminster allocated bus ...

I know this is slightly off current topic but I haven't seen LG02 FFC in Kidderminster for a few days (which makes me wonder if it has returned to Birmingham) anyone seen it around?
it was on the 56 in Brownhills this morning.
