On the topic of redditch I never know where to take good bus pictures there-only place I managed was where I got a picture of K126URP which means you can only get some of the buses. Just if anyone has any ideas then please post them as its not like the bus station is great like any centro ones so you cant really take good pictures there either

Bus Station is obviously the key spot, top of the bus station usually around 9-12 is alright for the sun, if your after more 'on street' photos then the Alexandra Hospital is a good spot but services are roughly every 10 mins there, the 57 and 58 are every 10ish in each direction too and are a 5 min walk from the Alex, Studley Island can be alright for the sun too with services 247 and 143 also serving it (as well as Wooshs 350 and 59 at certain times of day) Headless Cross and Crabbs Cross are on the main Evesham Road out of Redditch and can give some variety 26, 55, 56, 247, 350, 70 ... hope this helps.

If you want town center ones, I'd suggest the top of Unicorn Hill, come out the station turn left and just go up the hill past the Wetherspoons, seems a fairly decent setting on the corner at the top and a fair number of routes go up that way from the bus station

JC,

Is it still allover white or now in overall Diamond Blue.

Surely, if Diamond is making fleet changes this close to the Oft decision they must have an inkling that the outcome will go in Rotala's favour?

jc

It is in Blue Winston.
