Diamond & Flights Hallmark Fleetlists

[winston]

Hi Tony,

Not a bug or error as such, but I was wondering if it was now time / if there was any mileage in merging the above two fleetlists together to form one complete Diamond & Flights Hallmark fleetlist or even re-name it Rotala Group?

You could keep the same allocations i.e. Tividale, Long Acre, Kidderminster & Redditch for Diamond & Birmingham, Heathrow & Wessex for Flights Hallmark as at present listed under the respective limited company etc I think it may simplify it and it possibly even save you a bit of time in the long run? as you would only need to change allocations & not move individual vehicles between the two files.

As an example: 20572 is withdrawn in the Flights Hallmark section (as last with Wessex) but photographed in service at Tividale mid October but isn't even showing on the Diamond October fleet changes

20652 is withdrawn if the Flights Hallmark section (as last with Wessex) but will need moving across to Diamond fleetlist as has now moved to KR 

Similarly with the frequency of transfer/exchanges that take place between Wessex & Diamond

What do you or anyone else think?

Hi Winston

I have done as you suggested, and included Preston, I just need to check that combined list against the one Simons sends me to make sure it is correct

You have two T468HNH on that list. I believe 20646 should be T546HNH.

Hi Tony,

Nice one, thanks for that, much appreciated!

Sorry to create you yet more work!!! I'm assuming it may now be in the same format as the group fleet list you receive from Rotala? Hopefully it may save you a bit of time updating it going forward.....

Yep. A couple more - 20361 carries 20316 (& adhesive evidence where 20361 was previously applied) & 30947 is FJ08VRD.

Hi Tony,

Does the latest Rotala fleetlist show the re-registrations of some of the Wessex double decker fleet?

You could do with adding Heathrow & Wessex under Flight Hallmark Ltd, Preston Bus Limited and a possibly a space between each entity as your previous format at some point

Just to say thanks for doing this Tony as I was after a rotala fleetlist and the ukbuses one you can't print :)

Tony's fleetlist is far more up-to-date & accurate

That's certainly true

That's certainly true

I have just gone through and made sure everything in my fleetlist matches the Rotala one Simons sends me

Thanks for doing that Tony! It's much easier to navigate in one group fleetlist

Interesting that The Rotala Fleetlist hasn't been updated to suit the re-registrations below, there are at least four known to have been done so far:

MX57 UPW was seen at West Bromwich last Tuesday still carrying fleet no 20914 as in Tony's photo but the fleet list shows it as 20522.Which is correct.
