Diamond Bus - Unusual Workings

[the trainbasher]

30940 is on the 226 left merry hill 1605 right behind the Hansons dart

Out of interest which was running 15 minutes late

Well the 226 diamond is due at 1550 so draw from that what you may

Any full length buses, particularly Royale Centros & Cadets in my observation

Evening and sunday 255's are predominantly Royale Centros. However the Eclipses are also regular's on sundays. MPD's and Cadets also do the night shift

IIRC the one bus (the one that starts off at Merry Hill) is a DAF/Centro as it comes off the 56 (or did when I last looked)

Sounds like a YJ07 one then.

YN08 NXL out on the 56 too,

YN08 NXL out on the 56 too,

I saw that one, a Centro on the way home. There are 2 'YJ07' Urbans on the 56, got a pic of 'YJ07 OZV'. The next bus was also one of the 'YJ07's as well

There was a blue Centro on the 56 - I think - it was displaying "Birmingham" but wasn't displaying the route number.

Yeah, that was the one I saw, it must have been 'YN08 NXL'

It had red seats with head rests

They looks pretty smart, the high back seats suit the 56 well. Lets hope they stay at Tividale now allowing some smaller MPD's to be withdrawn

Preferably allowing red diamond MPDs to ultimately be withdrawn but retained short term to help with repaints/spare capacity as clearly stuff like the cadets/darts/some MPDs need a repaint and can only have them if there are sufficient vehicles to cover
