20053 on the Bilston 303. Is 15004 in for a paint job?

15004 spent most of yesterday being driven in and around the Bromsgrove local area. I assume not in service but happy to be corrected . . . . .  :smiley:

Not sure if you saw 15005 as it was definitely in the Bromsgrove area on the 182/183, it being a Redditch operated route while 15004 is allocated to Tividale at present I believe. 15006 was drafted on to WN 64/65 rota this afternoon.

Yes , both sighted !  Both "4" and "5" are intended for the Bromsgrove DRT service and will receive appropriate branding at some time and I will no doubt see them over and over and over.  :rolleyes:

6 and 7 have been on the 303 this week in Diamond livery but were devoid of fleetnames.

On Monday 1st July, 20056 was on the 45 the 45 is normally oporated by Streetlites or VDL pulsars, so unusual to get a optare solo on there.

33215 on the A15, very unusual for a 2015 streetlite to be on this route.

*32215.

A Mellor (21219 according to bustimes) has spent the day on service 150 Redditch - Kings Heath today.

Volvo B7RLE/Plaxton Centros seem the norm at present, sometimes a Streetlite or occasionally a Streetdeck can appear, but I have never noticed a minibus on the 150 before.  Loadings on the service are usually light so it probably coped OK.

Correct, past it on the A435

30703 on 16a. What a stupid allocation. A tiny bus on a bus route. Absolute joke

It's not tiny, it's a LWB bus. 
Much rather that than a small Solo, and the bus is covering a service and no lost mileage so there's not much to moan over.

I hope they enjoy paying the £50 charge
