In the last few days I have noticed P404 MLA and P405 MLA parked up at the back of Kidderminster garage looking as though they are withdrawn and being stripped for parts.

I got on one this morning in Redditch  :o shame I cant remember which one can't look at the ticket as it will say 1111 or the number of a different bus. 20233s ticket machine is in one of the P reg darts.

As for the R reg ex FMR darts I dont see why they couldnt use afew of the older midi darts with or the knackerd ex 37 darts with ramps cut out and placed in them as they are still good runners for there age and they are also better for Reddih and Kidderminsters needs.
Midland Red West, one of the best Companies to serve Redditch, with some of the best buses.

Does anybody know please what has happened to the Dennis Lances acquired by Diamond from First, apart from M255 MRW?
They have all left Kidderminster garage (bar 67255), which up until the takeover was a bit of a Lance safe-house...

Can anyone shed any light on what is happening to former First Midland (42641, N341 EUY), (42405, P405 MLA) and (52503, R503 CNP) to my knowledge all 3 buses are parked up at Kidderminster does anyone know what Diamond intend to do with them? As they are currently not in service I have checked on the DVLA website and (R503 CNP is Unlicensed); (N341 EUY is SORNED as is P405 MLA) are these vehicles going to return to service or are they going for scrap can any shed any light on these 3??
