It doesn't matter where they're allocated, they should prove a good purchase either way
They're due to arrive tomorrow so look out if you're around the Perry Barr area.

Allocation for them has not been decided yet so they could end up all over.

Well that's funny I've been told the 125 so don't be contradicting things Michael!!

Well that wouldn't be too surprising mate tbh neither Enviro were on the 75 today only Versa's XVW and XVY were plus I have heard from my driver friend that Geoff Cross is selling off the long Darts which I can see Diamond purchasing them

No E300s were on the 75 on Saturday either. It was a Versa and a Dart on Saturday.

I can't see Diamond buying any surplus long Central Buses Darts, other than 30886-8, Diamond haven't acquired any used Darts for a long time. There are still 05 plate long Darts for sale at Ensign (ex Dawson Rentals) that they could have acquired if they were in the market for extra.

The Enviro 300's will be going back to Warwickshire County Council soon. Also I've been told more Dart's will be up for sale soon.

I had the same idea as a way of Diamond getting rid of their remaining Cadets but maybe they have more luck than other firms.

First one has arrived. Apparently it's currently on a test run around the City Centre.

Think I saw it in Sutton on Victoria Road a few hours ago as I saw a White Metrocity go along there.

At 17:30 PN03ULV was at Asda Minworth on a 75 to Birmingham International MX56HYA was still out so, it must have replaced the Versa.
