the 142 was the stourbridge shuttle on the KS03 solos  and the 10 branding was connect10 on R...VLA darts and I accept that some of these brandings were technically not diamond but central connect but have classed it as one rotala wm business

yep they still run the 401e ironically now with the same buses debranded which were removed initially and also theres the usual selection of MPDs on that route as well. And liked this similar style of liveries for the routes and in fairness the solos did look smart like this and look smart now in black diamond livery-shame the drivers dont like them and they break down all the time lol. And gonna try and visit long acre soon as it seems to be worth a look as to whats actually there. Can't wait!

The worcester 37 from memory-think the branding advertised the night service on the route to worcester royal hospital
