Haven't been on the buses myself since the takeover but I have seen a photo on Flickr of one of Blue Diamond's MW52 darts in Kidderminster Bus Station this week.

Rotala don't use 6 digit fleetnumbers, but if you mean 30501 then that is unlikely to be in Kidderminster it is a former Diamond Bus Plaxton Centro in UWE livery allocated to Avonmouth.

There is also no fleetnumber 30050

Tony what is the Kidderminster allocation supposed to be as there seams to be different buses  here to your list, and the rotla fleet list on the west mids bus groups gives differen ones as well, and as for the 833 school service there has been a red diamond bus on it no 534. is this and the 133 still run from Redditch

Both of us get official information from Rotala, yes I know that it is not always accurate, but it is the best you can do, they do tend to move vehicles around depots, carry on using vehicles after they have 'been sold' and loan vehicles from one depot to another more often than most operators.

I do report most faults I find in the fleetlist suppied to me back to them, some get corrected, others don't

thought only one was going to be used and that is 67255  as it is the only one to be given a diamond number. can not understand why instead of the 3 enviros  they did not take the  3 remaining 54/ 05 reg dart would have kept batch together
and they would have been standard vehicles   think they only have about 4 seats less than the enviros
