Did you go up to Church Road? or it could have been hiding in Plymouth Road Depot behind the Service building (bus wash fuelling point) or in that in the road closest to the houses on Station way.
Midland Red West, one of the best Companies to serve Redditch, with some of the best buses.

Just sitting in Redditch Bus Station while my car is having work done and just looking at the fleet operating round here its no wonder Diamond have been banned from bidding for Worcestershire council work

The state the fleet is in is an absolute insult to the users and the random allocations?

30851 - 51 - No destination so scribbled paper in window, ok keeps the bus on the road but surely better to have some made up displays where you can dump a bus on a single service for the day '51 Batchley and Town Centre' for example

20844, 20304 - missing logos and looking shabby, how hard is it to fit new logos?

30944 and CDF running round with massive scrapes and replaced panels and just looking shabby as well

20844 and the only ex First e300 currently in service running round on the 67/64 loop, you dont need a full size bus for the 67, although two rather full 55, 47, 56 and 48s have gone out with full midibuses.

30636 - still running round as a blue diamond bus, I know hardly priority but surely something like what has been done to 30637 over Kidderminster could be done?

40544 - 57 - for peaks I think this is essential and this has been happening more often that it had been last school year, good move at least putting a decker on there

jc

YJ12GUH on 57 ... And a second rather Smokey ex First E300 has had to be dragged into service also on 67, half empty

Looks like lots of new buses coming for Redditch.

Rotala have orders 20 StreetLites and have issued a press release stating 8 of them are for Redditch depot, 2 for Atherton and 10 with allocations yet to be decided

Are these standard or hybrid versions? Romour had it streetlites, supposedly hybrids, and destined for signature services...
