Diamond Bus - Unusual Workings

[Liberator9]

One of the 13 REG Wright Eclipses on the 88/82 Solihull route; I thought it was a NX bus at first! Shame it's not ventured onto the S2.

Yesterday,

Wright Cadet - 002 ?

30214, look back on the previous page.

One of the branded Centros (either 30807 or 30808) seems to be missing, so anything and everything is covering for it lately

Thanks Peter - 807 & 808 are the only ones I haven't seen/ridden in the last few days

No worries Matt. 808 or 809 was the one I mentioned about a month ago stopping with the horn locked on on howley grange road a while back-i think it was probably 808 as it seems a coincidence it had electrical problems and sounded bad when i got it a month ago and now its off the road. I know it was 808 or 809 a month ago as it has the chunky seats similar to the ones on diamonds new eclipses not the other type with the big curved handrails above the seats if you see what I mean

I haven't seen the 08 reg b7re for a long time had a couple of journeys on the 4 today and nowhere to be seen haven't saw it for a couple of weeks.

Me neither-nothing much unusual on diamond routes in west brom today other than 30905 on 4 and 30454 on the 42 to tipton. Might be able to look on my camera to see when I last took a picture of the 08 b7rle....

I only started taking bus pictures on May the 30th and Ive got 3 of it since then

I thought there would be a more recent sighting than mine.

Is 'KX57 MTE' easy to find, as that one was a long time entering service with Diamond, it took me a long time to find it

I was on it 30834 (KX57MTE) on the 4 the first bus that arrived at my stop, since this bus has entered service the 08 reg one seems to have gone missing.

My 3 pictures of the 08 reg one are all the 25/6/2013

Emm yeah it was ages entering service and seems the poorest out of the three-it still seems to lurch a bit when changing gear-its the easiest to spot from a distance as the wrightbus pattern below the front windscreen is different if you see what I mean

30808 still missing, Cadet 30202 filling in on the 002 today.

Ooh thats a bad cadet that one as Ive said before shakes really badly when idling meaning drivers keep foot on the pedal. Mind you at speed that one isnt awful. was on YD02PZJ yesterday and interior was great and sounded ok as well but when idling it occasionally sounded like it was about to cut out. Had an original BCC poster on inside of destination box as well-should have got a picture

Had 30202 on the 4H around Hayley Green quite a while back and it really struggled up the hills. Not a good bus
