Kidderminster have a mellor for the 298/9 service in Stourbridge so could be running the evening service with the mellor on the 3

The plans must have changed as originally they were to stay at Kidderminster and be re-painted into the new Diamond livery!

I presume that Diamond have excess vehicles at Tividale at the moment (since the introduction of the new Mellor's and StreetLite's) meaning vehicles can be sent to Kidderminster to cover the loss of 30115-8 to Preston Bus?

I see, Thanks for sharing that picture. It makes sense sending the Scania's to Preston as they have other various scania vehicles. I guess we will also be seeing lots of swaps in preparation for the Bolton take-over!

The numbers quoted *shouldn't* change too much, but are not cast in stone. 40625 will be a bit of an odd ball, with 40626 remaining at Hallmark Connections.

Also, bare in mind DBNW Atherton depot is now been closed from the end of the August, with it's routes & allocation being split between Bolton & Eccles.

I understand a new bus order for Rotala Group may not now be too far off from being finalised / announced. As a side note, Preston Bus had a Wrightbus Streetdeck Micro hybrid demonstrator for a good few weeks which was used in service during March/April, so may well be correct.

More streetlites for West Midlands?!

They are quite nippy movers

The Central B'ham Diamond routes are all Euro 6 compliant bar the 16/16w. So something will need to be sorted with those.
