Buses/Coaches for Sale

[winston]

think  we might  do , the only buses with the new style reg  are 3 54 reg darts  At KR,   the next newish a p reg darts

That doesn't mean anything. Have a look & see how many new buses Rotala have bought for the other Diamond operations over the last couple of years, in particular Black Diamond.

Redditch may get lucky & receive an initial batch of new buses to mark the takeover by Rotala,  however if anything you will get newer secondhand models from within group or from Ensign, I'll be gob smacked if Kidderminster receive anything new

for KR anything  newer than P reg    will be ok  that is new for  us

Rotala plan to remove the 7 Lances along with P402-6MLA and R455 CCV asap replacememts moved in from the main fleet are in general 02/52 plate darts and 08 plate solos, what isn't listed on the info sent me is whether these will go to Kidderminster, or will all go to Redditch and Kidderminster will get vehicles currently at Redditch

So i'm guessing the newly acquired 52 reg darts from your bus in the diamond blue branding being used at Tividale currently will be the darts that will go over to Kidderminster/Redditch may be even the enviro 200.

All the darts that are currently parked up at Tividale and Long Acre withdrawn what is going to happen to them. I noticed quite a few being old 37 branded V reg darts. Will these buses replace some of the older darts from the acquired First fleet for red diamond or as i know a few darts are up for sale will they just be sold off if anyone wants to buy them. I'm sure some of those darts are better than some the ones currently been used from Tividale at least if nothing else there slightly newer in age.

I think there were two 05 plate MPD's parked in the overflow yard that were new to Travel London. I think the bulk of them are the ones for sale

I thought it would make more sense to replace some of the S and T reg darts at Tividale with the V and W reg darts parked up at Tividale and Long Acre but would like see some investment in new buses to see the old red and white darts off as there mostly only used on the 4/4H/4M now one of diamond's busiest services.
