The other Streetdeck is 40725, they will likely see service on the 002 in the interim from Tividale, then transferring to Redditch once the Johnson's acquisition is completed. 

Mellors leaving Tividale are 21206 & 21208, they have gone to Bolton to be painted in Preston livery.

Has it been confirmed what service these Streetdecks will be used on? Hazarding a guess that it'll be the 150?

Presumably those services that currently use double-decks?

One of them is currently on Weoley Castle Square so it looks like this is true. If anyone is interested.

Both out on 002 this morning.

I guess some ex Claribels have entered service with Diamond still in Claribels livery albeit with Diamond fleetnames, as I've spotted one on the 326 a couple of times this week?

If Diamond hadn't already committed to the two tone blue livery, then that would've been a nice livery to repaint into !

According to a post I've just read on Facebook Streetdecks 40725 & 40726 are moving to Redditch today in order to be used for the Johnson's routes which Diamond start operating tomorrow

Yep, both are now at Redditch and should be in service tomorrow.

I don't believe there is any truth to it but can you confirm yes or no if the 4H is being extended and becoming a partnership route at some point to Stourbridge and Bloxwich as a post on Facebook last night would suggest that this is the case? I'm guessing there is no truth to this post on Facebook?

Don't believe everything you read on Facebook, Will! :azn:
