Diamond Bus - Discussion

[2206]

Temporary lights on Stourport Rd causing delays to service 3 & 8.
& for some reason 32222 seemed to have been "dumped" on Goldthorn Rd

Rotala have acquired more used Euro 6 vehicles:

Dual Door DF Streetlite (For Tividale)

I've put 30526 back on (you need to remove the tick @winston)

Hi there, SN66WHJ and SN66WHR were never sold, and are staying at Moffat & Williamson.

Simon Dunn has acquired the remainder of the M&W batch from Oxford Bus & Coach Centre, it maybe those two are yet to be released.

Looks like 32227 and 40825 have transferred or on loan to Preston Bus

32227 was showing as tracking on the 4H yesterday, but it was actually 32228.

I assume they're only loans. As Preston also have 20872 & 32272 at least from DBNW too.

20642 came back from being painted yesterday which now only leaves 20643 as the only white enviro 200 MMC at diamond West Midlands.

I'm surprised that hasn't been put into the same livery as the electric MANs

That was just a thing for the MANs I don't think they will be continuing that livery for the future.

Seems that way with the custom dennings having the Brighter Diamond livery rather than the Green Diamond one.
With 40725 though being a converted rather than stock ev like the MANs i would of thought that it would go into the green livery or is planned to go into the green livery.

The Man's were converted to they weren't Stock

I Missed a comma, i was reffering to the fact that 40725 isnt a stock ev, similar to how the MANs werent stock evs
