Rotala 20 New DF Streetlites
Updated with new information with thanks to Simon Dunn...

Diamond NW > x2 (The first one is due to be delivered any day now.)
Diamond WM (Redditch) > x8
Preston Bus > x6
Diamond WM (Unallocated) > x4 (But I can guess they will probably end up at Tividale because Kidderminster never gets anything brand new so Streetlites on the 002 may become a reality.)

Tomorrow is First Midland Red Hereford last day. Any one going to see them off tomorrow?

On a Saturday afternoon earlier this year in February I saw one of life's great wonders! Seeing a First Bus in Kidderminster operating a X19 service to Worcester Warriors Rugby Club this only happens about 6 or 7 times a year.

Starting this thread for GHA of Wrexham because from the 19th July GHA take over the 436 between Bridgnorth and Shrewbury. GHA are also opening a depot in Shrewbury this month as well so they can bid for more routes in the area. Also GHA in Shrewbury is no longer called Bryn Melyn this is now known as GHA now despite a lot of the buses still have got the old Bryn Melyn branding.

This thread is for Yeomans and Lugg Valley which are both owned by the same person...

Why hasn't Stagecoach in Gloucestershire got a sticky thread/topic for it?

Also are the Enviro400s on the 94 Stagecoach Gold service due to be replaced with new enviro400s any time soon?

Does Arriva Midlands still have a depot/out station in Bridgnorth?

Do any of the National Express West Midlands operated Enviro400s with leather seats. On any service to/from the Merry Hill or Dudley? :)

Today I was look though the 03reg list on Bus Lists on the web. I found that in 2003 Whittle had 8 brand new Iveco Eurorider C35As. The registrations are as follows no.29 FJ03ZTP, no.4 FJ03ZTS, no.1 FJ03ZTT, no.23 FJ03ZTU, no.25 FJ03ZTV, no.24 FJ03ZTW, no.37 FJ03ZTX and no.36 FJ03ZTY. I also look on the Whittle Fleet list for this website but these 8 coaches are not listed under withdrawn is there anyway of them getting listed? I was only able to find one photo on Flickr. All 8 of Whittles Iveco Eurorider C35As have since been sold on to different coach operators. Anyone have more info? Would be very helpful.
